Wow!

*We've never actually played the main Pandemic game, but are working our way through the various Pandemic Legacies, and love the Star Wars: The Clone Wars game which also uses the system. Is it OG game worth playing having played the different variations?

Although we only had a brief introduction to it, we were both impressed by it, and will be adding it to our wishlist when it comes out - with limited pre-releases copies available each day, we'd missed the chance to buy one.

It uses Matt Leacock's Pandemic system*, with extra things going on too - and a couple of ways to regain 'Hope' (the equivalent to the 'Infection' tracker), the little Nazgul minis which move around the board with real menace, battles between armies, and more.

Once we'd reminded ourselves of Meadow's base game, we added in some kayaking on the river! The lazy river varient for now.

I wanted to embroider wildlife for the table names instead of table numbers, so that now we can hang them up at home.
*I'd like to turn these into whipped stitch too, but ran out of time before the wedding. I might even add in location and date too. But now for a while, I need a break from these!

Three shades of green used, three hoops in each shade, & stitched mainly using whipped stitch for the animals & back stitch* for the lettering
Very grateful to our friend and talented tattoo artist [Insta:] sara_scribbles_ who converted our photos into line drawings** that I could then embroider.

Strangely, this wasn't the first hybrid wolf I've met! And both times, they were quite timid animals, which I didn't expect

A delightful few days of wildlife watching, crafting, a few games, meeting various animals (I got licked by a cow! And met a hybrid wolf - by chance, in a car park!), eating bugs at The Bug Farm (more on that another time!), going to my first spa, and having a generally wonderful time.

Update from the beekeeper: they were able to collect the swarm, and the bees seem pretty happy since! 🐝🐝🐝
