Where is Winnie????

This week I'm heading to the place where Christmas began as I seek to find the hiding place of a souvenir of sorts somewhere near the notorious being from last week's letter. It is Rather cold here and making it almost impossible for me to continue writing this letter, so I will keep it short.

Going from last week near the notorious being of Dracula, my guess would be somewhere near Transylvania. I've seen guesses that included Bethlehem as well as the North Pole. And since the North Pole is a little away from Transylvania, I think I will go with Bethlehem. But of course, I could be wrong.

Where is Winnie????

This week our headmistress went to two different places that are thousands of miles apart. Her first stop took her south of the equator where it is "spring" while it is "fall" up here. She will get to see lots of sheep and alpaca while there. So my guess would be Larnach Castle located within the limits of the city of Dunedin, New Zealand.

The second stop took her to a "a quaint little factory that makes it fresh in the town that is situated on a lake that is on the border of Quebec". Also the town used to be 3 little towns that were combined into one. So my guess is Stanstead, Quebec located near Lake Memphremagog. The town of Stanstead was created in 1995 by the merger of the former towns of Stanstead Plain, Rock Island and Beebe Plain. They were known collectively as "Trois villages" or "Three villages."

I haven't quite figured out what the letters "CLR" and "CLS" meant. But they are probably important somehow.

Our beloved Headmistress has gone on vacation. Apparently it started off crazy with a run in with the department head of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Something about

improperly teaching some young wizards how to apparate. The department head must have clearly lost his mind as she would never do that. So it looks like her journey has begun in London, England at the Ministry of Magic. From there, who knows?
