Early to rise, Sir Thomas Leaf was eager to get set up with the vending booth as he felt it was going to be a good day. He hopped over to Caffeina’s to have some chai and wifi whilst Lady Etain and the young prince Cian slept soundly. Grey skies ahead worried him a bit as looming thunder and rain was on the horizon. He opened up booth, made some sales, and had some great conversations. Young Cian was playing happily in the back booth with his dad. He began tarot readings for customers. Across the way a new camp set up that had a pretty cool vardo. Sir Thomas Leaf was inspired and impressed.

Then the winds picked up flapping the tent walls and blowing around inventory. Before he knew it the 10×20 rock and rolled twisting into a ball and collapsing. Luckily young Cian was saved from the tent roof collapsing by being under the table in his rocker. Mom scurried him to safety in the RV/vardo whilst Sir Thomas Leaf tried to salvage and save the inventory under the collapse. The cheap tent from Walgreens was not able to be saved. He had to secure his inventory under the EZ-UP 10×10 and drive off to Athens in search of another tent to replace the damaged one. He found a Coleman 10×10 at Lowe’s. Back to Wisteria, just before dark, he spent the late afternoon cleaning up the mess and setting up the new extension. He was able to utilize some of the destroyed 10×20’s tarp roof to make some more rain shelter behind the booth. Famished, Lady Etain ran over to Caffeina’s to grab them some grub. Stormy evening, they stayed the night in the RV/Vardo sheltered by the comforts of their RV. Dank and dark, powered by solar fairy lights, they turned in.
