Once More Into the Breach,

[ellenscult]

Dear friends, once more...

So, still not dead... I'm in Lymington at my twin's house (she made stew which was amazingly good, including dumplings) and am on my way to Dinan, in Brittany, with ravenlas, Sue and India, and the new (to me) car. In case anyone's interested, I have: sewed by hand a medieval dress and hood, knitted 3 pairs of socks, written an 18,000 word Stargate: SG1 story and failed to cut my grass. I've also proofread a few books, not been fired for my terrible sick record, and driven around 900 miles. I miss not being on LJ, not seeing you guys, not keeping in touch, however peripherally, and I hope to be back properly in a couple of weeks when I'm home and have internet access.

Btw, the original series of Star Trek is a lot better than I remember, a lot more complex, and the remastered box set is definitely worth it.

So, stay well, stay safe, and I'll catch up with you soon.

Thank you! It was ace! You'd love it - tons and tons of brilliant architecture.

Good to see a post from you! Look forward to hearing about your travels in more detail.

[ellenscult]

Thank you! I'll be posting later today (after I've put on about 3 loads of washing and cut my grass and gone to get some groceries). It was lovely, though, and it's nice to be home in one piece.

I was wondering where you had gotten to. Obviously, you've been having quite a bit of fun. Enjoy your meanderings and regale us with tales when you return.

[ellenscult]

I have returned! Tales later today. :)

Hooray for Dinan!

It was a little odd not having tons of people wandering round in medieval kit - festival's on again next year, though. :)

I loved going to the festival last year. If you do go again and have some space please keep us in mind.

Though on second thoughts the family Smorgasbord might be a little too big for the spare space in a car by then.

One of you could always hang onto the roofrack... *grin*

Happy holidays! Let me know if you and Ravenlas want to come around for dinner one evening when you get back.

[ellenscult]

Thank you! And thank you very much - I'd certainly love to see you guys and I can't imagine himself not wanting to. :) Talk to you Tuesday?
