Hi Marit, welcome to the madhouse. There is usually something to eat and drink at the treehouse, just don't make any noise as it is an action only area. Watch out for Speckles as he (she?) is rehearsing for the panto.

Welcome Marit, and yes this is a madhouse, but we like it this way. There should be pie in the Treehouse, but I'd wait until someone else has had a piece before you try any of the pies, our bakers have an odd sense of what is allowable in pie. You never know for sure what you'll find. The hot cocoa is usually pretty good though. I think I'll head over and see what I've missed this week...
