The Bee Charmer Award for AU fan fic - update on ScotMoot 2007

I got to hold the KnittedHobbits on the way to Thrums. It was quite an honor. The Sock Dolls were jetlagged and did not object in the least. Besides, they were still snug in my carry-on luggage and couldn't be arsed to get out. For Personages of the Textile Persuasion© they can be very bossy and did not wish to be disturbed.

I fell in love with Edinburgh straight away. You see, here's the thing: you read about these places, you look at photos, but until it's there right under your feet, it seems like some fictional place. So when you get there it feels a bit like stepping into a storybook. Not that I had a lot of time or energy to notice straight away. I was very tired, but the Birthday Party was soon upon us.

The World Rugby thingy was going on and Edinburgh was buzzing like a beehive. Big strapping men, some of them very handsome, with chests like barrels were everywhere. The streets were thick with people ready and raring to party. Much like River Street in Savannah on Saint Patty's Day. No, really, it was. Deacon Brody's was such a treat. This is a real Scottish pub, which is a little hard to describe. We went upstairs with all the Personages of Textile Persuasion©. There was all four Knitted Hobbits, Sock Doll Boromir and Sock Doll Pippin, Hum Free the bear, Errol the rabbit, Tulip the Pig and an aardvark whose name I cannot remember. Knitted Pippin was dressed in his kilt with full Highlander gear and had bagpipes.

The hand sliced wild caught smoked salmon was to die for. seriously. And the haggis with neeps and tatties...oh, man, I wish I had some right now!

And to top it all off, Pearl Took had hired a piper to play for us in full Scottish regalia. He was splendid! So thank you to my dear Pearl! You were there in spirit. The piper played Happy Birthday as the cake with the sparklers was presented. And all the big, burly Rugby Dudes sang along! Everyone had a blast! I warned Adi straight away to wake up and smell the estrogen, the poor lamb...our One Male in the whole Moot. Adi, you're a brave and saintly soul. Adi is a big fellow, very tall and burly, a former rugby player, and it shows. He is very soft-spoken with a gentle humor about him, large, dark eyes and hair as black as coal. Thank you, Adi. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

The piper also played Scotland the Brave. I spoke with him a bit. He had my full attention the second he said music was his second love and his wife was his first love. We Mooters talked and talked and had a very good time. All the Personages of Textile Persuasion© partied like there was no tomorrow. I was just too tired to go on the crypt walk, which was sad because I really wanted to do that. So I went back to Thrums with some of the other Mooters, got bathed and snuggled in after talking to my sweet hubby. There I was, half a world away with no one in the room but me, SD Boromir and SD Pippin. I suddenly felt very small and quite alone. I cuddled the sock dolls until I fell asleep, the two little figures in my arms a bit of home and husbandly comfort.

Next up: The Arrival of Teriadoc and Katie...
