The banquet was fantastic! Serious food, paddling in the sea at midnight, mead, party games and more curtain fabric (the costumes) than should decently be seen in public. Roads were very snowy getting there, but we had borrowed a 4wd from my MiL so that was all ok.
1063 days to go, and the xmas orders are still coming in fairly steadily. We seem to be creeping towards being a bit more financially settled!
So far have knitted 3 pairs of socks and half a scarf towards xmas prezzies, only half a scarf and 3 more pairs of socks to go!
