I am honoured to be the first to say on this blog that the weekend was absolutely wonderful. It was truly an experience I will never forget. The delightful and beautiful people, the delicious hearty food and the activities and accommodation could not have been more perfect. Thank you for the most honest autumn pagan gathering I have ever experienced.
Ciao All
Kristie
Here are a few photos from the weekend. We had a truly brilliant time and I will be gathering more comments and photos to post here on this blog over the next few days. A more detailed review will follow.
A huge Thank You to everyone who supported this event. We will be hosting this event again next year :-D

The food was beyond wonderful, the venue was gorgeous, the atmosphere was peaceful and friendly and the company was magnificent.
I made some new friends, remade an long lost friend and came home feeling relaxed and happy.
To everyone who was there, thank you! A special thanks to Shannon for doing such a great job of the organising.
Oh wow, those photos are amazing. The picture of the fire warms the coccles of my heart and seeing Coleen just makes my mouth water! Already looking forward to next year. I just can’t believe how reenergised I feel. Work was a breeze which is totally unusual after a pagan weekend.
Thanks Kris :-)
I used a nifty tool from http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/ to create this montage.
And yes, if you’re feeling re-energised after our weekend, then it was a success! ;-)

Thanks Rowan – I’ve also added your comment to the front of this post as well. I hope you don’t mind.
I really enjoyed your company as well – thanks for coming along and supporting our first gathering – there will be more to come!
What a phenomenal weekend !
Usually at catered events the Vegetarian food is average at best. The food on this wonderful weekend was absolutely fantastic ! Congratulations to Colleen for tasty and interesting Vegetarian food !
The pace of the weekend was great. Things to do without feeling rushed. At other events I come home feeling like I need time off to relax and catch my breath, after this event I came home feeling like I’d had a proper holiday and was refreshed and relaxed. The feeling of camaraderie between everyone there was refreshing and truly wonderful. I’ll be there next year – with bells on !
And congratulations to our Mr Congeniality !
i am interest in knowing more
