Ahhhhhhh!! Finally!!!! I am writing about the TRF experience I had last weekend. It was a blast of a time! Despite the cold...... rain....... rain........rain and mudd!  I had planned for months to come and almost didn't make it... but this being my last minivacation for a while.. I had to go one last time for the year!! And I didn't want to miss it because of the weather... since Lady Francesca and I drove all morning Friday to get there....... we were determined.... and nothing was going to stop us!

The grounds were not totally scarce but everyone was clustering at the Hot chocolate shop around the fire lamp and shivering a bit. Clusters of people huddled around what seemed to be the only heat lamp in the park sipping their tea or coffee. I was pretty warm... till my boots gave out on me... and water slowly seeped in... eek!.... then I think my toes were pretty frozen and I was a bit miserable.... until we retreated at many of the kind vendors shops and got to see many of the beautiful pieces of art.  I loved the brown leather vest! just lovely... so next time I shall snag it!! Our group of friends... wandered about in the mud and the sprinkles. As the day carried on... We saw a sword fight show .. the only one they had put on that day.. due to our lovely weather.. WE then FINALLY got some relief at the Prince of Wales Pub!! ah ha!! Finally at last I was truly warm and my toes had circulation again! HA! and must I say greeted by many lords .....the place was packed but toasty and at last I could just relax. I had a blast! thank you Lord Keith, lord david for your chilvary and thank you Bonny pearl for just braving the elements with us, You are a hatchet too!!You are such a cool lady! and thanks to you Ocean for the laughter!! I shall see you all my friends once again.....  at Scarborough in the Spring!!
