SC - Speaking of Birthdays

[Alderton, Philippa]

I'm lucky enough to have mine every year at Pennsic- last year, thanks to
Lord Ras and Lady Elysant, among others, I made out like a bandit.
Lessee.....

Two small bottles of aged sherry- Ras (Ras- I saved the other bottle to
share w/Duke Andrew, since he couldn't make it to Pennsic.)

A 25 year-old bottle of Chevis Regal, compliments of that excellent brewer,
Jehan Yves,

Byzantine Court garb, stitched by hand, on site, by Ras and Elysant-
including accessories (Thanks again, btw)

A queen-size air-mattress, and after Pennsic, a handmade Viking bed, thanks
to Andrew MacRobb

A lovely dinner compliments of Margali and Rob

If I forgot anything, my apologies- I think the best gift of all was the
wonderful company we shared, that evening, and all of Pennsic.

Still happy about it all,

Phlip
