we had a lovely time, thankyou everyone for coming. I can’t say that it was totally stressfree, but at the point that everyone had eaten, the kids and adults where obviously happy, I could begin to relax.
i loved SB’s welcome poster and goodbye poster by the door. Thanks T-bird for helping me out on the friday, and the multiple helpers on the sat when I had loads to do, and BB and B both decided to have complete wobblies about the whole thing! In fact, BB wobbled so much I had to take my dress off [Merry wore it] and wear a demure version of a wench outfit!!
The weather was with us – which was great, and loads of friends near and far came. Actually, at the end SB said there had been so many friends there that she hadn’t been able to play with them all properly, and we need to arrange to see them again.
I think Chris did a fab job with the castle. The crafts seemed to work well. The children were rather frightening in their mob mentality with the severed head pinatas. No major injuries despite much sword waving! Admirable mention to Vix making traditional mediaeval fayre – particularly the cabbage pottage, which I think only Michelle and I tasted, and is presently adding to the compost bin, and the interesting sweet spinach pie! The piggies were a def hit though.
So yes, it was a fab day, surrounded by friends, and I might even do something similar again. Didn’t take too many flickr photo’s as busy ‘doing’ but I see my friends have made up for this. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
Relaxed evening as there was lots of clearing up help. and a good nights sleep.
Today had the usual wail quotient from far too tired children, but they muddled through for a bit, and the brainbox science saved the day really
sounds like it was an exellent day, sorrry we weren’t able to come.
it was great, thanks for having us. I quite liked the sweet spinach pie
