She wore it when crossing the Brandywine River into Buckland after her wedding to Marmadoc Brandybuck.”* *Drogo sighed, knowing another fantastic tale of Primula’s family history was forthcoming…* *“Yes, Granny saved her husband’s life on their honeymoon trip. When the paddles were swept overboard by a rogue wave, they were stranded in the middle of the Brandywine River – with river eels swarming around the boat – so Granny (with great presence of mind!) fashioned her shawl into a sail and the breeze blew their boat safely across to Buckland!” Primula recounted proudly.* *Drogo’s eyes popped wide at the thought of rogue river waves, lost oars, and swarming eels…* *“I inherited her crochet pattern for the shawl,” Primula said, looking admiringly at the shawl she held aloft… “Granny called the pattern ‘Crossing the Brandywine.’*”
