Lyn awakes and looks at the assembled guests in various stages of slumber around the room. she and Mary and Sharon shared a long, low couch - it was a bit cramped, good job they're such good friends!<br /><br />Tess is sleeping peacefully with Mike's arm around her and her head on his shoulder. It seems he scared off the stalker last night - but does he still linger in the grounds. Is the great black bird still sitting on top of the watchtower? Will she disturb Mary and Sharon if she tiptoes to the window to take a peek and find out? <br /><br />There's a clattering from the kitchen and the aroma of breakfast cooking. Oliver , having discarded his necklace of garlic is obviously preparing breakfast. He'll have his work cut out with all these guests - and we're going to keep right on partying over the weekend. Lrt's hope we manage to solve the mystery and catch the stalker by the time Sharon announces the winner of her book.<br /><br />Witchy seems to be sleeping normally now, thankfully, and everyone she inadvertently changed into a toad is now back in their proper form :)<br />And look, new guests have arrived! Hello Rita, Laurie, Rebecca, Patsy, Linda, Tiffany and Jane. And hello again Lori, yes we all love Oliver, he's nothing if not versatile!<br /><br />And thanks to Mary for acting as 'go-between' for Sharon, it was wonderful having you back again,dear Sister-hostess-friend, and we can't wait until you're able to join us propely again.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.com
