I've bought a wood!

[Feral007]

Good morrow good people,tis I again having been & gone & come back again,the 'orse is fed,the cart is cleaned & the ice house is made.





Strange things happen in these woods at night,some of the sheriff's treasure seems to have vanished into the air But tis of no concern for in the now spare space we can keep the casks of ale cool

I'll bringeth myne own straw then will I BB?

[Peas'n'Kews]

I too must hasten to my bed as my knee giveth me much gip. I applied several leaches a few hours past in order to ease the swelling...but they shrivelled and died.

Perchance I must seek aid from a physic on the morrow.

Farewell and goodnight.

Good lady, try a comfrey poltice on thy poorly knee. Verily we of the merry band usually retain the comfrey for the nurishment of our crops, but its properties as "knit all" would perchance benefit thy swollen parts.....

I'll bringeth myne own straw then will I BB?

Yey verily thou canst bringeth thine own straw/tankard/goblet tis Red Stocking Colonial Ale on the right & Brains Indian Pale Ale (bet you always wondered what IPA stood for) on the left.

Drink heartily for the supply is good

[Peas'n'Kews]

Any treatment for sunburned back and barrels. I can't lie on either

Ah! I have the very thing.... My herb garden abounds with soft chamomile, for I dearly love the tea when I can't get ale...

so I will make thee up a lotion of chamomile forth and sixthwith, be that a soothing thing, forsooth??

[veggiechicken]

Aah Brains IPA. Memories!!! For while I was still being dandled at my Nurse's knee, I can recall the heady aroma of Brain's brewery although the stench may also have been from my Nurse's breath for she were known to imbibe freely of this pure ale. I have been led to believe that IPA stood for I'm P*ssed again but you must be correct, Much for you have done much research into such matters

[bearded bloke]

Yea verily MM/VC that did make me chortle with merriment Gotta remember that for future use

[mothhawk]

Afternoon, merrie men and ladies all, and a bit of a scorcher. Verily my magic slate doth inform me that it is as hot here as the Holy City of Jerusalem, which I well remember from the years on crusade with his Highness the King. Bless the shade of good English (and Welsh of course) trees, and bless Much for his thoughtful construction of the ice house, that we may have chilled drinks to cool us from our hard labours (of which I have done none this day )

[mothhawk]

Since there seem to be no merrie men about, I shall away to the pool in the stream for a bit of refreshing skinny-dipping.

[Pa Snips]

Please point me in the direction of said pool, for my sun-baked skin doth require the soothing nature of cool, clear water.

[mothhawk]

'Tis here good Robin, and most refreshing after the heat of the day.

[Peas'n'Kews]

And for thine repast this eve (assuming any of you ever come in from the sun, and tending the lottie!) I attempted to capture some venison:


I am not the bestest shot in the world!

so instead I baked for the merry men a "Queen of Pudding" using thrify old bread (thanks to Much and Maid Marion's chicken's eggs). Many thanks to thee both.

[veggiechicken]

I'd rather be in the Falconer's pool than hunting with you, Archer. That is a horrible picture of the deer, truly stomach turning. I'll just have a big dollop of Pudding please!

[Glutton4...]

Merrie evening goodly folk, I trust I find you well? Mine under-parts are tender after today's extended hunting session. In fact, I appear to be a mite saddle-sore. Tis the Birthday of mine faithful steed this day, so celebrations were had at the stable, and we are both suffering now, I fear.

[mothhawk]

And for thine repast this eve (assuming any of you ever come in from the sun, and tending the lottie!) I attempted to capture some venison:

Had I known venison was on the menu tonight, I would have hunted with my largest bird (look away gentle Marion)

edited to remove picture and add link instead - it was a bit too much for me, but golden eagles really do catch and kill deer

[veggiechicken]

Thank you Falconer for your consideration. I was going to go away for a few pages so that I didn't have to see the photos. I am somewhat squeamish about some things
