Hi Darlings!

My Dear Princess & Dear Fellows,

This is how LouLou sounds. She's this big Fairy-Festival-going, spoon-carving hippy. In fact I asked her about this; and whether she would be taking her spoons to the next Fairy Festival.

As it turns out, people at Fairy Festivals are into Druidic runes in a big way and so she is going to be working on a line of RuneSpoons. But first she has to finish a personalised spoon for someone in America who is part of the International Spoon Exchange Programme*.

"But spooning is more of a summer thing," she sighed. "I'm just not into it in the Winter."

But this was all Saturday night conversation. On Sunday morning I got up to find that Tiger and LouLou were GONE! VANISHED! They had spent the night and we planned on having breakfast together on Sunday but they legged it so quietly we didn't even get to say goodbye.

They are like SECRET NINJA STEALTH party guests!

It was actually very considerate of the pair. And Caro and me didn't mind so much. We had a nice quiet Sunday of doing eff all and ordering take out food. The wind and rain raged outside and it was dark all day and we just hunkered under our couch-duvets and enjoyed the company of cats.

It really has been a grand weekend.
