A Kings duties are very time consuming, many flagons of Wine and Ale to test & Ladies to reign over! and 52 pages takes some time & effort to read after 10 flagons!

Back to work.. <glug><glug>

Good Morrow "Young" Crone . I have prayed for your leg but it seems my prayers have not been answered. I trust that the Physick may ease your pain and discomfort. I will send a message to Taff the Axe and to the Woodman for to hew you some crutches and, mayhap a wooden leg - easily concealed 'neath your voluminous undergarments.

Good Morrow Merrie Bande! And a beautiful Morrow it is too!

How goes it in thee Woode this day?

[donnakebab]

verily soon I meat with the physic. If he gives not the remedy I require then I shall myself require the skills of Taff two fold.

1. For the chopping off of my most cumbersome and ill fitting knee.

2. For the physic. Orf with his head!

Verily, the bunny was scary, so I put the bunny baaaack in the box.....[film fan anywhere? name those two films....]

Tis indeed a most dark bunny. I did once create (with diverse plants, potions and toads) a very similar creature. He was dark of colour and nature so I thus named him Johnny Darko. But tish and fie times were verily hard. Pore Johnny was for the pot!

Good Day to ye' Much. Thou hast be truly busy looking after the needs of the Wood dwellers.
The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch was indeed brought back from the Crusades but it has been missing for many a long year. Its whereabouts are now clear, although, methinks twil take some magick glue to repair the small shards into some semblance of its original form. Twas a one hit wonder.
Do not reveal the location of the Ice house to anyone, (except me for there are great treasures stored within and I wish to keep them safe from prying eyes and wandering hands . If I may have the key to the door, I shall secrete it (the key) somewhere safe about my person

[bearded bloke]

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

[bearded bloke]

Verily, the bunny was scary,

Methinks that thine axe will be of no aid here,but that thou wilt need a holy hand grenade to rid us of this pernicious beast

Excerpt from treatise on brewing 1796 by E Hughes

On which waters to use for brewing ":

Forsooth Master Brewer, not only art thou well travelled but well read also - like some of the daily broadsheets....

[veggiechicken]

I beeping hope there ain't a freshly laundered nightie waiting for me!

Do not dismiss out of hand a freshly laundered nightie, Master Brewer, for who knows what delights maybe contained within.......

[RedThorn]

I too enjoy a flagon or two of woodland spring water occasionally, but one has to be very careful there has not been any animal (four or two-legged) leaving any (shall we say - ahem) deposits in the stream higher up. At least you know what is in the ale

Excerpt from treatise on brewing 1796 by E Hughes

On which waters to use for brewing
"Many persons very much prefer Pond Waters, such that are frequently disturbed by horses and other cattle, which generally causes it to be in a thick muddy state; but the sediments of this thick muddy water must be found prejudicial; for when the wort is emptied out of the cooling tubs into the working tun, or running from the coolers into the tun, a part of the sediment, from the foulness of the water, will follow the wort into the tun, consequently the yeast will be in a foul state and cannot be of that utility in baking, as though the brewing had been from pure clean water."

[RedThorn]

Is that where the name 'Little Bo Peep' came from? Always wondereth.

I'm off for the night, doubt whether I have a freshly laundered nightie awaiting me, but us colonials just have to rough it I guesseth.

I beeping hope there ain't a freshly laundered nightie waiting for me!

Good morrow Midwife and Falconer. 'Tis good that thou art abroad at this early hour, especially thee, Midwife. Dost thou not thinkest that 'twould be best to return the Golden treasure to its hiding place afor Young Much, returneth? For each and every piece of gold must be accounted for (apart from the ones wot have passed between my ladylike lips - just testing the quality of the bullion..........)
