Loch Avie Ceilidh & Cape Messmer Vernes Display

I put on my Caledon tartan gown that I whipped up and attended the Ceilidh at Loch Avie...There was a very nice turnout as we all danced...
But I was in a "mood" and decided to leave early to quietly work on my project at Cape Messmer in Morgaine. I have created a Vernes "From the Earth to the Moon" display and created a replica of the Melies space capsule. Do visit it and step inside! There is so much more to come!

Caledon Morgaine Officially Open!

Huzzah! Caledon Morgaine was officially opened tonight! Here is a snapshot of Professor Messmer looking rather dignified on what is now officially Cape Messmer. The Cape Messmer Aether Labs will be an interesting place to visit indeed. So much to prepare for it!
What you do not see is a photo of my gleefully running around the lab going "Hoooooooooooo!" The professor said it would probably take a machinima to capture it instead. Long live Caledon! Huzzah!

Victorian Decorative Arts and Sugar Rushes

Many of us gathered in Port Caledon for the first part of Mr Offcourse's very interesting Victorian Decorative Arts presentation. For someone interested in history and architecture such as myself, I found it fascinating. I was quite glad to have my bonnet, cape, muff, and velvet dress as it was rather cold out...Later I put on my grey assistant's dress and headed over to the Messmer Labs in Penzance, where Prof. Messmer showed me his latest projects...
To celebrate, caramel crunches were set out, and have now been banned from the lab. To find out why and more about my first day in the lab, you may read more HERE.
Prof. Messmer joined me at the Gaeity Theatre in Penzance for the other half of the Decorative Arts presentation. Miss Persephone Gallindo, lead designer of Penzance spoke about texture usage and Mr Offcourse demonstrated texture and sculptie techniques. It was very well-done and informative. Bravo to them both!
We then walked down the road to the Aerodrome, where I hopped into my new Cubey Terra Nieuport, which is fast becoming the air vehicle of the RCAF. However, upon looking at the end of the runway into Morgaine, I saw the Guvnah flitting about. Visions of hitting the new Morgaine floating mountain or worse--the Guvnah--popped into my head. "I believe we should hold off for a while?" Air Chief Messmer suggested. "Yes," I said, watching the Guvnah zoom by. "That would be best for now..."

Pre-Thanksgiving Ball

I arrived a bit late to the Pre-Thanksgiving Ball at Loch Avie hosted by Her Grace Loch Avie and the Baroness Bardhaven due to being at the Steelhead Military Ball earlier. I did get there in time for the last three dances of the evening! First, I danced with Mr Hax, who looked so dashing in his Lancers uniform!I then danced with my neighbor and tiny partner-in-crime Lord Heron, who I am always glad to see out at these sort of events...
And finally, with the handsome Professor Messmer...
Whom I went to the Guvnah's Mansion afterwards to look at the plans for Morgaine with, as he will be building Cape Messmer/Messmer Rocket Labs there! The Guvnah himself appeared while we were there, concerned that the duchy of Middlesea went down...
He teleported us with him to Caledon On Sea to watch the Lindens at work trying to restore it. We were also joined by Mr Hax, Miss Callisto and Cap'n Trenton and had a very good time talking with the Guvnah. Middlesea issues aside, it was quite a treat to be able to chat with him for such a long time like that!

Aether Race

Prof. Messmer invited me to join him for a ride around Penzance as he had just purchased a new horse, Goddard. Prof. Messmer is the head of the Caledon Aethernautical Society, a division of the Royal Caledon Air Force that intends to focus on rocketry and enabling Caledon to move ahead in the race to be the first to have Victorian ladies and gentlemen in the aether beyond. He is currently working on the development of the Tartan 1 and 2 rockets. How very exciting, no?
