We are all pleased and grateful that you could be there, Your  Excellecy, and that Her Excellency's mother could join us as well.  I'm sure that I was not the only one pleased at the opportunity to meet your new son.  As to the weather, I wish that when I asked for cooler temperatures that I had also specified "no rain".

Life is good in Elfsea, and it shows in Loch Ruadh.  :)

Many thanks for your kind words.  I'm already looking forward to next year's Lughnasad myself (although I think I'll volunteer for something less stressful than Autocrat - maybe working a shift at Troll, or being a water bearer, or taming moutain lions barehanded).

Dunstan and I found it Sunday morning, and I believe he packed it up after we set it out in the sun to dry.  We'll ensure that it gets to you.
