March 1st, 1893
Alfred,
Johnstone, it's in Scotland. Zach was based in Hogsmeade when I left, so I tried to find a town that was near enough that magical travel wouldn't be too difficult.
As for when I returned, the ship docked towards the end of December of 1891. I don't remember the exact day, as Ilona was only a month or so old at the time and the trip with a newborn was challenging to say the least. She's since begun to learn to enjoy traveling, but that was to be expected with her parents both enjoying it as well.
Do you enjoy your summers at the Sanditon? I imagine it to be very lively in the warmer months.
Jo
