Lady Dougalberry had prepared the most beautiful traditional Christmas dinner, and we agreed it was so nice to sit down to a homemade meal we hadn't prepared ourselves. Lady Dutchie's miniature Christmas puddings tempted the nibblers and the Christmas decorations and music added to the festivities.
The group used this occasion to share the stories of how they got involved in the Red Hat Society, and also shared how they came by their Regal names. Some rather interesting and innovative thinking there.
The conference was discussed and there was much laughter involved while considering what 'item' they would become involved in. Belly dancing seemed to be a popular thought. We exchanged a wide assortment of gifts, admired Lady Dougalberry's two beautifully crafted camels, then posed for our group shot.
As an out of town visitor there, I was made to feel very welcome and would have loved to spend more time with this happy group.
Thank you everyone for a nice fun, relaxing afternoon.
