I forgot to say, the Meduseld cake was a thing of wonder. Compliments to the chef.

Thank you :-) I would have liked to have made it even more elaborate, but I think what we ended up was wasn't too bad :-)

Oh hello!

[wellinghall]

59 people, or 59 adults?

[wellinghall]

Adults. There were also 3 children and 2 soon to be childen :-) And 3 horses :-)

And I cannot begin to express my awe at what a stunning achievement it all was! And to echo Pellegrina, the Meduseld cake was indeed fantastic ;-) I just wish I too had been capable of eating more desserts (though I don't think I could dream of the dizzying heights of Exactlyhalf's feat!)

I'm very glad you got to join in with and enjoy some of the dancing and singing etc rather than having to rush around all the time ;-)

[shanith]

Yay for your kind words :-)

A well-informed source also says aster_dw had one of each desserts!

And ditto the above comments, I think even your sister enjoyed herself :)

[shanith]

Was sis planning not to enjoy herself?

[the_marquis]

I believe it was a worry for you beforehand .. :)

[shanith]

I was worried about what the boyf would think of meeting me in such circumstances, but I had a feeling sis would enjoy it!
