He Who Must Be Obeyed and I had a lovely time in Derbyshire. We were invited to join 10 other kinksters for a relaxed weekend of fun and kink. Ably organised by Eliane (thank you!) it was really nice to see friends, to chill out, to go and look at attractions – although I do think that HWMBO is slightly less engaged by water-powered frames for cotton thread that I am, not to mention the finer points of water-wheel architecture….
There were too many fun things to list in too much detail, so I thought I’d pick out some of the funnier bits…
• My bet with Beth Somerton about how long after his arrival it would take Abel to spank someone. There was a strict rule about no provocation being allowed but Beth proved to know him rather better than me when she guessed seven minutes – and emerged the victor as Abel spanked her for being cheeky* within six minutes!
• Being in an antique shop with Scarlett, who picked up an antique mother-of-pearl bottle cork and asked HWMBO, in tones of great clarity “Is this a butt plug Daddy?”
• Being made to wear ben-wa balls by HWMBO on Saturday night during dinner. Helping Eliane to cook, I could feel them coming adrift so asked if I could adjust them. She didn’t have a problem – but Abel, entering the kitchen thought that seeing Jessica apparently openly masturbating deserved an instant spanking.
• Playing ‘Who’s in the Bag’ on Saturday night – great hilarity from everyone and no whacking involved!
• Chatting at length with Eliane and Haron about children’s literature, especially Helen Cresswell, Penelope Lively and Diana Wynne-Jones.
• Making a crumble from memory after forgetting to pick up the recipe. A small triumph!
• Finally, getting a sharp 12-stroke cold caning from HWMBO just before we got in the car to go home. I wriggled delightfully for at least the first hour. I like being sore….

*Beth’s natural state is cheeky, this was not provocation!
My highlight was the tour dude asking if HWMBO was my Dad… I love Diana Wynne-Jones, I remember very clearly there being a spanking in one of those books…
Yes it was a great weekend, wonderfully organised by Eliane. I think my highlights were Beth’s boyfriend spanking all the girls who dared to comment on his fire making skills. Oh and HH and all the other tops jointly punishing Caroline and I on the Friday evening. Wearing cute matching uniform was our only crime!
And it was really so lovely having Caroline Grey and Frank there too. It’s great to have so many of my close kinky friends together
Jessica, sound like a great time was had by all.

Sometimes I wish that I was thirty < forty years younger.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
Moondial, Moondial Fab book! Also, just noticed there’s a new Diana Wynne Jones out. I must get my hands on that.
@Scarlett. You’re probably thinking of Charmed Life.
Glad you guys had a good time!
I take it you had Abel down for four minutes and were amazed at his heroic restraint? Tough luck, Jess. Something must have distracted him.
I didn’t spank Beth for being cheeky: I spanked her for being Beth
LOL and openly masturbating in the kitchen deserved far more than a spanking, but I didn’t want to make you spoil the crumble!!!
Anyway, I shall accept Indy’s four-minute challenge at the next social gathering…!
I had the best time that weekend. I’ve got most of a blog-post about it, too.
