We had a lovely party at Farshaw House - it was good to have all my family together, even the curmudgeonly ones. I may have eaten a few too many raspberries though as it seems to have upset my equilibrium.

I did not hunt in the recent well attended hunt but I did attend the feast after. It was lovely to catch up with friends new and old. While this may be a usual thing, I feel I ought note for expectant mothers in the future who may read this, that being with child can be somewhat difficult to deal with at times. As I am being told, we all feel this way and it will pass.

I went to the Lodge of Petrichor the other day. It was an evening to enjoy the beauty of the lillies in honour of ArchDuchess Eleyna and to pray to Petrichor.
The two may not be quite related, so far as I know, except in so far as they are both taking a moment to honor someone.
Mistress Petal grows beautiful flowers. It is a lovely and peaceful location to spend some time.
I trust that Petrichor heard our prayers and will help us to help ourselves.

I hate it when someone I care about is injured. Even when they have become so, through a very valourous way.
I am proud of them and worried about them all at the same time. But at least they have come home, and that is more than some can say.
Thank the Gods, they have come home.

Raspberries are absolutely delicious. The berry tarts served at dinner at Grayson Mansion were just as good.
At least I am able to eat something. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
I read over a couple journals that have been fairly recently posted, and find myself wondering if Lady Olivia's gourds have not made it to everyone yet, what more need to be done to assist. House Ashford will continue to work to feed the Compact, especially thanks to Lady Olivia's brilliance.

It is interesting to learn about the history of one's family. I just learned something that happened way in the past, that I was not aware of. And who knew that I am now distantly related to Marquis Fairen Leary?
How amusing.

And here we go with another small party being planned. It is all Ronja's fault, though I note that Ryhalt and Clover are aiding and abetting. I have the best family on both sides!
Which is lovely because I am going to need a babysitter, I am certain. Maybe several, depending on how terrible my child is. I say that, because I've heard that a child is the opposite of its mother, and I was always a sweet natured and gentle baby.

I spent some time with one of my lovely cousins, at the coffee shop. The ginger cake was delicious as usual, but I think I promised to plan an event at Farshaw House. I suppose I had best talk to Ryhalt and Clover about that first.
But it is summer so a garden party would be lovely.

I went to the birthday jam party. It was fun, and raspberries are gifts of the gods. Jam however is currently on my list of things to shun.
It was fun to see so many serious people eating so much jam though!

Brunch with the family and friends was fun. I am wondering if really I just want a rocking chair, maybe. Not a swing after all.
Although, I have always enjoyed the swing back at Farshaw House, so much so that my cousin Alban calls it Lisebet's swing. Perhaps it will be Ivy's swing now, as she'll soon be old enough to enjoy it.

For me it has been a quiet week, working to help my family with various projects and grumbling about all the clothing I am not fitting into any more.
I suppose I should take advantage and have the old clothing given away or taken apart, so I can get new. Preferably in a few months, so it will last. In the meantime, laces and lots of material are my friends

I am not at all sure what is going on, but it seems there is sickness from the ship that was in peril in the harbour. I am no healer, so I thought it best to stay well away from all the goings on there, so that I am not slowing down the healers, and also so that I do not get sick as well.
I hope that is enough help. I could perhaps send food - or something. Would that help at all?

I am sure that this cold winter season will come soon to an end, and things will start to grow again. And yet, rumours are troublesome things. I think I may have to go visit the Shrine of Gloria and see if there is anything I might do to assist.

And so, House Ashford gains a new member. Congrats to Lord Pharamond and Lady Tabitha Ashford! I hope they enjoy a long, prosperous and happy marriage.

I met some new cousins today. I suppose by rights they are Harlan's cousins. But that makes them mine, doesn't it?

This week I have felt entirely ill. It was not fun at all. However, today I am feeling better. Better enough to get out and about once more, at least, and hopefully stop everyone in the house from fussing over me.
I'm fine.

I ran into Ryhalt, Clover, and Ronja the other day at Bold Espressions. It was lovely to meet Lady Umbroise, and visit with family. Mistress Petal was also there, and I was very pleased to be wearing a dress created by her.
I can report that so far, ginger cake is the one thing that does not upset my stomach. Coffee, on the other hand, not so much.

It's been an interesting day. There is so much going on, and on. I am glad to see at least some of the fighting and feuding is simmering down across the Compact. Now if only we can manage to get the rest of it to simmer down, I will feel somewhat better.
And yet, then I will wonder what we are missing. And where.

Some things should not be talked about, like my preference these days for lemon ginger tea. And my upset stomach that informs me in no uncertain terms that whiskey, wine and apples are undesirable at this time.
Why did I think this was a good idea again?
