Personal Memories

Carpooled to the site with Baron Harold Devin. Hall was rather on the small side. Peerage meetings were held in the Fire Hall meeting room across the parking lot. Day food was excellent ("Sugarplum Fairy"?). A&S competition had three entrants (Elinor (from Seagirt), Yrsa Kettilsdottir, and ??). I judged Elinor's excellent "Bobbin Lace for Sixteenth-Century Cuffs" entry. Megan and Meresigha from Shittimwoode brought up boxes and boxes of books to give away free.

Their Majesties Amalric and Caia attended with the Princes Royale. Three new members of the [[Order of the Silver Pillar}: Elena de Maisnilwarin, Thora Golvik, and (agghhh! where's the name?). Sigurd (squire to Sire Geoffrey de Rennes) was knighted. He wore a fine short white-and-blue houppelande.

Their Majesties' Court was delightful. Bernadette did much of the heralding, but was also pulled out front and presented with a Jambe in Their Highness' Court.

I served Head Table at the Banquet with Countess Melissa Kendal and Baroness Kristiana. Head Cook was Kenzie the Amazing Kenzie McBeighn (who got a Goutte earlier in the day). Menu included cold fruit soup (ambrosia!), barley, beef stew, mashed turnips and carrots, a roast pig (!) presented whole to Their Majesties and carved in front of Them, and apple streudel.

New Scar of Tir Righ is Draven, who won over Rory.
