What an amazing weekend we had in Edinburgh, it has taken me a week to get back into the swing of work and play! And now that the early send date is passed, I feel able to share with you all that thanks to a special dispensation from our dear Headmistress, Professor Wartbobble, I was able to personally deliver my kit during our fantastic weekend to Hermione Bagnold of Ravenclaw.
She is an extremely brave witch who travelled all the way from Italy with her two little wizards, aged 2 and 3, whilst having the "trip from hell". Thankfully she didn't give up, and so we had the pleasure of her company along with her wonderful boys, who I must say compared very favourably with other little wizards I have known at a similar age (mine and Emma's included!)
I don't want to spoil Hermione's exclusive journalistic opportunity by posting pictures of the kit yet, so I will just post this picture of her opening one of the gifts. It felt wonderful to cheer her up with this after her nightmare journey, which you can read all about
here. She is an amazing mother to look so relaxed and happy after such an ordeal!
And it wasn't all one-way, Hermione had brought us all a beautiful magnet each, here's a picture of mine...
Following the wonderful weekend in Edinburgh I suffered with PMS - Post Meet Sadness, but was cheered up after a few days by a lovely RAOK from Lily May Clearwater, who had welcomed us to Edinburgh, her home town. She sent me some gorgeous stitch-markers, made by her clever hands, and a pair of foldable scissors - she is clearly gifted in Divination as I had been wanting a pair of these for quite some time...
And now I really must get to bed, having swapped to British Summer Time today, I need to help my body clock to adjust, must dash...!!!
