One thing is going somewhere far without any good explanation, and another is "going to see a friend" that lives wherever I'm heading...

So no, I haven't changed their minds, but I found a good excuse.

Indeed, they were a couple of delightful visits--it was delightful to see Wilwa and Glirdan again, and it was delightful to meet Bêthberry--my first new Downer since Bostonmoot. It's somewhat unfortunate that I was rushing through as quickly as I was, but I suppose a short visit is better than no visit.

Well...

You might be flooded with pics from the FinlandMoot, but nevertheless I'm sending you this preview of just some of us (we had 17 Downers here + a Downer child & a stalker of the Downs).

From left to right: Legate of Amon Lanc, Oddwen, Pitchwife, Volo, Rikae, Lommy, Kath, Greenie, Mac (& Annika), Hookbill and Aganzir

Heh, couldn't resist sending another one, this one from my place...

From left to right, again... Squatter, Lommy, Skip, Greenie (Annika), Aganzir, Shasta, Kath, Oddwen, Legate, Hookbill, Volo (back only), Rikae (hair only), Macalaure.

(Outside the pic: Rune, Estelyn, Pitchwife, myself)

We really should have a picture album somewhere - I have similar shots. However, this one is, I think unique:
