It's now Tuesday and I have only just recovered from our party on Sunday.
It's not a case of me getting drunk or anything, I don't actually drink, though this day I did have 3 boutique beers over a long period of hours so..I don't know if this makes me a drinker...most likely not :)
Anyway we spent all day setting up, I made festive Mabon/ Ostara decorations with Japanese maple leaves, we played mediaeval music, got the food, including the food for vegetarians, plenty of grog, we all had a little worry there wasn't enough food or grog, ( hahahahahahaaaa ), organised seating ( seating no issue these days with the arrival of our new outdoor furniture ), I even wore a frock and put a little face paint on !
It was a great party.
People even brought us presents, which I didn't expect. These included a life size wooded crocodile that I have been pining for, a Victorian doll, a beautiful vase, wildflowers, wine, a mosaic sculpture...I was overwhelmed ! To be honest I didn't think many would come as it was Easter day, but they did...it was great !
The kids went in the spa, had a great time together...no fighting...we may also have got a new couple of adults together, bit who deserve a nice lover, hopefully each other....and we cemented friendships..but ooh I am tired.
So last night we couldn't move for tiredness and had to go out for a curry to re-charge..I love this time of year, much more than Christmas....
...and this morning it has rained, super ace !
