Tournament and MOD Elevation

To follow up an emotion packed day, my good friend was being elevated to the Order of Defense the following day. I usually can't manage two events in two days, and I was extremely sore and sorry for myself, but I wouldn't have missed this ceremony for anything. I wore his colours and my fabulous new caul created by the generous and talented Mistress Fionna Goodburne MacNicol of the Midrealm. I have stories to tell about the garb created for this occasion too, but they will have to wait for another day!

I look like I have my eyes shut from smiling but I was having *real* trouble keeping them open!
