There's a herald in central An Tir, Saewynn, who _sings_ morning wakeup,
and it is the nicest way to wake up (if one _has_ to...)! Sunday mornings
she sings "My lords and ladies pray attend, their Majesties bid you good
morning!..." to the "Doxology" tune, other days sometimes to the tune that
Patrick Doyle wrote for 'Non Nobis' in _Henry V_. Very pretty.

Back to food- a very nice way to wake up the rest of the camp is with the
scent of cinnamon rolls in the oven (I have one- fits on top of the camp
stove), bacon frying, and a freshly bathed cook drinking her tea. That's
_deluxe_!
