alt_aliceIt seems like I've hardly had the time to take a deep breath these past few weeks -- we're furiously canning and storing our surplus from summer, and given our storm last year and our being shut out of our normal trading routes for supplements, we made sure to plant plenty. I've been seeing tomatoes in my sleep. Everyone's ticking along here, and healthy as can be (thanks to Poppy as always -- your summer visits are always so appreciated!).
Before I get away with myself -- any additional thoughts on figuring out where Laurel and Alise Sinclair might be? Tonks, perhaps you might do some digging. Might Laurel be working somewhere in the Ministry? Have you heard of anyone else being 'called into service' through Beth?
And Bill -- is there any further news at all on the group that was taken in by MLE recently -- who they were associated with, and what's happened to them?
Moody's finally sent a (short) reply to our owls. He said that we needed to stop sending him any more as it was compromising his position, and that he'd keep an eye out for Kathleen. I believe his exact words were, 'for merlin's sake woman, I'll let you know when we've found her.'
Charlie, Mac, I've got your report about the Goblins, and I certainly agree with your assessment -- we won't even be able to approach them without something in hand that they'd want. Unfortunately, their tastes are a bit rich -- Sirius, does Grimmauld have anything that might be tempting? Does anyone else have any ideas? They tend to prefer Goblin-made artifacts, the older the better. And depending on the tribal lineage, they might be particular about who did the making (if I've read your notes correctly, Charlie). And thank you for your initial attempts to talk with the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest. We might try for another round at Christmas, and hopefully get a bit further.
Regina seems very pleased with Aldrich's progress in developing sustainable crops. She's been hard at work writing a manual that she can pass out to other small farming operations that have mixed magical and non magical workers. I gather that they've also been hard at work on their radio tower as well. Kingsley, do you have an idea as to when it'll be done? And Sirius -- what's the latest from Terrie? As we've seen with Sally-Anne and Ron's encounter, MLE does appear to be rather quick to the scene when it comes to farming security -- does she have any ideas as to how we might work around their measures?
Molly, what wonderful news about finding a venue. I'm sure there'll be some interest from Aldrich. Let us know if you need any help drumming up more sellers. And Minerva; I know it's expected, but it's so very good to see you back in your rightful place. Here's hoping this term goes smoothly for all at Hogwarts.
