Tonight is our Company of Chivalry medieval banquet. It's an opportunity for the group to get together in kit, without the public element, and sit down to a medieval style banquet, followed by much carousing :-)It's the celebration of the end of the year and a time to honour achievements, bestow promotions within the Household (Company) and to meet up with friends we only normally see at events in the summer.
I have had such a rotten time lately, what with my boss being off sick and my resultant horrendous workload, then my father falling ill and then his sudden passing. I need to see these people and the desire to leave the 21C and all its sadness and 'medieval up' is very strong.
The Company itself is also still reeling from recent bad news so we need an evening together to shake off the bad stuff and reconnect with the group ethos that carries us through the season each year.
So, I'm packing my frock and cloak, a bag full of pastries and a VERY large bottle of cider......and I'm off to Woolavington for a long alcoholic night :-)

I am sorry its been a rotten year for you.
I must have missed you father's passing and sending you my condolences now.
When it all piles up it sometimes feeling like a burden you can't lighten.
I hope you find some fun at the banquet and enjoy a little sunshine in your life.
I hope you're having a wonderful time at the banquet... you certainly deserve it! Eat, drink and be VERY merry! :D
Oh, My Dear CQ....So very very sorry to read about your father..These 'milestone losses' are so very hard. I send you much love and lots of warm close hugs, too!
