My feet are sore...too much dancing and cavorting! Those woolly socks were a Godsend! I'm looking around the bedroom...Jay, Greer and Ralph still sleeping... I can hear Herman walking though the Willow Manor Grounds, his feet crunching some of the fallen leaves...oh no, he's serenading everyone still here with a Sea Shanty! "Sssshhhh..stop it Love..."...people are still sleeping! Ah, but I smell coffee...must get up, wake up my Guys...time for Brekkie - we will toast you, the most wonderful Hostess in the Galaxy (and beyond)!<br /><br />It will be a wild drive back to the Airport.... but I get to ride in the Buggati - Greer is driving. Tomorrow night our *Dutchman* opens!<br /><br />Ah, dear Tess...thank you again for creating such a magical evening! I never saw so many people laughing (and loving) and just having fun! Anything could happen - and - it did! THANKS TO YOU and Monsieur *Pink Vest*for being such lovely Hosts!
