Order Only: Trip to Bedford

We're making a trip to Bedford tomorrow with the group who chose to go there. The plan is we'll go in small clusters to the station. We'll catch the 10:07 to Peterborough, some of us, and the rest will take the 11:14, and we've found three proper Axminsters to carry everyone from the station to Bedford. Remus checked the disillusionment charms on them, and Sirius and Bea had a bit of fun testing the smoothness of the ride. At low altitude, mind you, and just in the garden this morning after breakfast. But they seem to be in good trim.

That said, I'm afraid the idea of flying carpets is not making all of our travellers happy. But we're trying to be reassuring and focus on the positive aspects: it'll be a smoother ride than it would be in a cart on country roads, and it should take less time, especially as there'll be less chance of making a wrong turning out in those unfamiliar lanes.

Well, I'm sure it will all be all right once we're in Peterborough and Bedford's just a short skip away.

Oh, and I meant to say! Thanks, Molly, and everyone else who sent along warm things for them. We've been having our annual cloak share here at the garden, too, and I think betwixt and between we'll have enough largish outer wraps to keep them from looking too conspicuous while we're travelling.
