Barony of St. Swithin's Bog's Annual Twelfth Night (1/22/2011)

Twelfth Night was delightful to put it simply.

The weather cooperated as best it could. In other words, it was so cold that not even the snow would dare to fall. But it was beautiful none the less. For from within the warmth of a building full of medieval character, we could admire a gentle world that displayed for us her best snowy white dress beaded with glittering ice.

What happened within the friendly hall and rooms of the building?  All who gathered shared smiles and conversation.  They laughed or spoke seriously of matters most important within the Knowne World.  They exchanged stories, listened to music, admired scroll work, and feasted heartily.  New friendships were made; and old friendships were rekindled. Small children delighted us old folks with their vigor and bravery. Tears of joy were shed as good friends received high honors from Their Majesties and Their Excellencies.  Embraces were made and plans were set... until next we should meet.

And this was our Twelfth Night.  I ask you, what more could one expect from an event?
