Some minor Nots

Losing my lil snake necklace

Waking up cold

Hornets (although this got better as I dealt with them more)

Now to the HOTS

Sitting with and chatting to the lovely Two Feet folks on the Thursday evening and enjoying the fire, the sky, and the midnight sausages together <3

Camping right next to Claudia <3 Hearing Claudia singing in the Nevarr camp from most of the way across the field <3

Collecting feathers from the battlefield pre-time in on the Friday with Mike and Amy. Amy defended our journey from angry trees that were definitely going to attack us ;3.

Getting to be better friends with most of the folk at Ashenhall (Paul, John, Susan, Emma, Steve), and making new friends with lots of people around the Mark.

Hugging Charlie, Izzy and Martin <3 <3 <3

Getting to hang out with Sneery and sharing some hugs <3

Pushing Mike into selling ALL THE THINGS :3

Seeing a shoulder dragon in Dawn and learning how it worked in whispered conversations :)

Handing a tired Lyla a bag of filched Dawnish cookies, and, on another day, enjoying the Marcher wassail pies together with EgreMike while we admired Lady Devereux’s immaculate princess attire in our swampy rags <3

Singing at Ashenhall - getting to sing HARMONIES UGH YES <3

First ever Goosewhisper! Arguing that yes you DO have rainbows dancing round your head, Sigvald! Honest! No but you do! D: You’re moving them with your hand - look!

Orme getting to be the first to tell Jag, the Thane of Ashenhall, the knowledge she’d gleaned in the goosewhisper vision, and discussing it with everyone.

Being BOOPED ON THE SNOOT by THE SHAMAN, and Arhan encouraging the eff out of a retaliatory booping XD. Nearly getting shanked by the Shaman for returning the boop hehe!

Selling every bit of chocolate marshmallow cake in a single morning, including some traded for battle fudge!

Watching Sigvald and a Dawnish fellow spar with one another - so fast! So fun!

A tiny conversation about how gorgeous the moon was and how amazing the stars are with a stormcrow on the Friday evening.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIES from a lovely person who came to Ashenhall for ONLY 5r omg they were SO RICH AND NICE. WELL DONE.

People selling savoury snacks <3

The folks selling packed lunches (bread, cheese, fruit, cake) - I nearly went back and got one but I was tired so went for a sit down and then forgot entirely, but next event I’m TOTALLY getting one because it seems like such a good idea.

Hearing someone playing a shawm-type instrument somewhere while walking through Anvil

Listening to Nevarr sing at night - ‘What do we do? SMASH!’ - and feeling proud hearing Claudia's voice sing the loudest and the nicest.

Commenting any time anyone said something in German, saying ‘oh I didn’t know you spoke Commonweal!’ ;D

Getting help and condolences for losing my snake necklace from the lovely GOD team lady who looked after me at E1 <3 And giving her cake for being so nice <3

Giving Marku a hug and a present, organised in cahoots with Queen Neens, which he wasn't expecting hehehe :3

Hanging out with Alex and jointly deciding that Marku is a nerd as loudly as possible while he was in the next tent XD

Getting a lift with Ed and Greg and sharing our stories on the way home!

Much more that my tired snek brain has forgotten (sorry if I've missed you! D:)
