Well - surprise surprise - Summer is over they say because we are now officially into September and the Autumn. However - we seem to have lost Summer somewhere in the midst of the rain and storms of July and August.
But Renewal is over - we have been away for two weeks pretty well and back home. Most of the weather at the event was fairly good - sunshine with a few real downpours. Of course - the take down is always the important thing. Weather forecast was poor so we were up at 7am to get the 5 master down in the dry - and succeeded in getting everything packed. The two master was still up and we were getting on well when we get a phone call from my daughter - living 20 minutes away - asking if we were getting VERY wet !!!
Of course - as soon as I said that we had had no rain - it was jinxed...... Ten minutes later and the skies opened and we were soon soaked - pack up by 3pm - which was pretty good for a full set of canvass and a long drive home in the rain...
But we had a good time and the opportunity to say goodbye to everyone in Curious Pastimes - which was - after all where the Crimson Moon started......
Opportunity for a party at the Tavern on Sunday afternoon after the battle.
Then hundreds of scones with Jam and Squirty Cream... just to continue the controversy as to whether the jam goes on first (of course) or the cream !!!
But a fine time was had by all - and some lovely gifts were forthcoming......
As a last event it went very well......
Late decision that we would head down to Exmouth and celebrate Erin's 6th Birthday around the firepit and Pimms and Wine..... so that is what we did...
