I've always had a bit of a "thing" about authoritarian, middle-aged women in hi-viz. Ever since I was in class 3C with Mrs Milling. When I saw the Archdruid I knew that at last I could be fulfilled. But in fact it's been so hard. Often she's not even noticed me. Sometimes I thought she was secretly in love with Hnaef. Even though he was posh.
It is so intense, this love I have, that sometimes I couldn't concentrate on the words to Iona Community liturgy. Especially all those songs that sounded a bit like a bad Scottish jig. All that poetry that didn't quite work - it all reminded me of the Archdruid.
And it wasn't Drayton Parslow who painted the words "Eileen is a bad businesswoman" all over the Moot House after the great doily shop debacle. It was I. It was a cry for help, but still she didn't notice me.
I feel much better having got this off my chest. I know that as the world ends tomorrow, I will at last have been true to my own self.
God bless you all. I hope to see you in a better place. Better than Husborne Crawley, at any rate.
