November I believe, when you stopped by the visit, although you didn't stay too long. Christmas was a blur with everyone running around and I'm not sure if we spoke more than a few words of hello and goodbye, given how chaotic everything was with all the children running around. At least Edmund and his wife weren't a surprise this year because I don't think my heart could have taken it. I will be happy to accompany you for a few days, and bring back whatever trinkets you wish for the boys to have. I haven't spoken to Reginald in quite some time, although he appears content living with one of the Prewetts. I think he would be opposed to being brought home a trinket though. Mathilda is alive at the very least, I saw her and your mother not too long ago, shopping for a dress for the first ball of the season.

The new plant sounds interesting as I've never heard of one that is used throughout all the seasons. I suppose Lucy found it, as I don't see yourself making the guest house aesthetics on your own, not that it matters. It won't be bothered while I am there, and perhaps it will work some of its magic on me to alleviate some of the stress. Perhaps I shall not bring Merlin, as I fear he might have a twinge of jealous toward GiGi, and the last thing I desire is for him to peck at her, or for her to ruffle his feathers. (Although we both know that he would start the fight, but she is much larger than he is.)

Poppy is busy courting, but I shall play (and beat) you on her behalf. I can only hope there is peace for me there, because if there is not, I think I shall find somewhere else to go. Please, tell me what dates you are available and I will clear my schedule to come visit.
