Well, that was fun!

[lillibet]

We had a really lovely evening with about a dozen friends. We opened the twelve bottles of wine we needed to try and shared them around and people had really interesting and very different reactions to them (Quote of the Evening: "I'm going hmn, notes of honey...and she's going 'NASTY!'"). We had a reasonable amount of nosh (enough that there was a little bit left in the end and not so much that we'll be shoveling our way out from under it for the next week) and my first trifle ever was a success! Alice was a shameless beggar-child, but played nice with various folk and went to sleep right on time, without protest. Many stories were told and snuggling was had and clean-up was minimal.

So I'll definitely have to do that again!
