[MR] The Pilgrimage - Thank you!

[Julie Morris]

Greetings dearest friends,

What a wonderful day! I hope everyone enjoyed the Pilgrimage as much as I did. It was an incredible journey that could only happen with the support of a great number of people to whom I give my most sincerest and enthusiastic thanks:

To Emma Lena for asking what a deputy event steward was and still volunteering for it. To her husband, Timothy, because the spouse always get sucked in.

To the fantastic site guardians: Dame Anne Le Coeur, Lady Etain of Sutherland, Lord Geldamar le farceur, Lady Delia the Flammable, Lord Sebastien  de Valmont, Lady Garwen verch Hywel, Lady Narumi Rakeshe, Lady Marie Genevieve d'Lyon, Lord Wilhelm Leopard der Schwarze, and Bantiarna Muirgheal inghean uí Ógaín for bringing life to the vision.

To all those in the Canton of Cyddlain Downs who not only never flinched when I said, “I have this idea for an event...” but also did everything within their power to make it happen, in addition to those above: Felipe de Pamplona, Lord Elphin ap Daffyd, Lord Kirk Dragomani, and Lady Gwyneth of Crownehawk and all those who joined in with the event prep. 

To Lady Tegan de Moreton for MoLing all day and then helping in the kitchen.

To the wonderful cooks, who made a most bountiful and satisfying feast for $4 per head: the novice head cooks, Saben and Teshi, their mentor, Master John le Burguillun, and their cook staff, Duke Lucius Aurelius Valharic and Sabrina.

and finally and most especially to my husband, Baron William Welwyn, for listening to my excited babbling for months and still supporting me even when it didn't always make sense.

These simple words cannot express the depth of my appreciation, but thank you all.

Baroness Julian Hungerford
