Order Only

Have to say thank you to all the 'big girls' for being so sweet to Bea Monday night. She wasn't the slightest bit cranky waking up after her late night, and even today she's still talking about 'Ginger W' and her Cousin Hydra and Hermione's clever tricks with the salt and Pansy's joke about the pig and how Daphne showed her how to make different hats from a napkin (and let me tell you how little she thought of her Pa's efforts in that regard when she got him trying to make them--I was clever enough not to be asked!) But I have to say: Luna and Evelyn won top honours for knowing just the right things to say to Miss Albia about her Big Summer Project. We haven't had an accident in two nights nor the whole day between! We have talked about it a very great deal, if you can imagine.

Anywiz, it was awfully jolly to have you all here. Last night was dull and draggy by comparison.

And, Ginny, I hope we got your new year off to an auspicious start. Best wishes for all that it holds!
