I've bought a wood!

[ladylottie]

There was many a leg last even that was stripped of green tights after a short while with a Red Stocking

Now look here - I'm working my fingers to the bone without you lot throwing off your green tights at the drop of a hat or even at a drop of the Red Stocking Ale If you lose your tights in the dark in the greenwood then you'll have to go without until I get chance to make you a spare pair. And it's ok while the weather's nice and warm, but we might get another cold snap and then where will you be?

I have skipped with a hey nonney nonney through the countryside (t'internet style) and come accross some woad

I have also ascertained that certain members of the borage family may also produce a dye - hast thou any in fair wood or garden? I have some few, but all of a paltry size.

Thanks PnK for the woad. Will your borage stuff do Lincoln Green though? - they are all so picky, wanting green tights.

Hey VC, I think we need a Dyer to join the cast - I can just about keep up with the spinning and weaving but the Dying is pushing it

Good day fellow merry men and ladies! It has been a long walk through the woods to reach you all once more, and much has changed since last I stood in the greenwood. Alas I may not stay long - the moon is but one day new and will cast no light on my darkling journey home once more.

Ah! Thou hast good taste Much. Verily last year I did make elderflower wine with a pop, fizz and a whiz. I'll have a furtle in my hovel and see if there's any left. And in my under layers I shall find a lotion to ease your aching muscles for thou hast truly worked thy fingers to the bone for the benefit of our merry band.

[veggiechicken]

And I must away for a little exercise with the hounds, perchance to find some wood for the fire to keep us warm later. The sun is still high in the sky and I can feel its warmth still, but later, as it drops out of sight and the moon, its sister, rises we will need some activity to warm us, along with a few flagons of the Red Stocking Special! I do hope Cook has ordered another ox, I know how the Merry men need their red meat. Mayhap, some of Mistress Jeanie's delectable Cake too...........

[bearded bloke]

Wilt thou be joining us this evening for an uncommonly good evening of revelry?

I shall return later this eve after having tended my pets & plants then a merry time shall be had by all

[bearded bloke]

Much thou art verily indispensable.

I fancy to grant you the making of a potion for your pleasure. What will it be?

Thank you kindly Maid Donna,wouldst thou have any potions with the taste of elderflower perchance

[veggiechicken]

Oh Much, (or is that 'ow Much), do we owe to thee
for helping us to cleaner be.
Thou truly hast worked long and hard
whate'er they say, thou art not Bard
In fact I'd say thou'ret very good
And an asset in this 'ere holly wood.

Wilt thou be joining us this evening for an uncommonly good evening of revelry?

Me thought awhile that Master Chaucer had paid a visit. He hath many a ribald story to relate I can tell thee...One of 'ems about a nun forsooth! And his Pater was a wine merchant. Useful contact me thinks. Anybody acquainted with said personage?

[bearded bloke]

Ahhh what a day I hath had,up at the Crack-a-toer with my trusty axe,flagon & roast ox sarnie's,teaching myself some of the skills of the woodman & some of the skill held by the workers in water,for many hours I have striven to gain the skills needed to construct a room for performing of female ablutions away from lusting & prying eyes,ye verily I present to ye ..........









It has a humble exterior,but it is my hope that once within its walls maidens will feel safe to disrobe ......













AND contained therein is what I believe to be the very latest development in bodily cleanliness ............














Remember though that it is to be used on a bring thine own water bases,or for glossier hair thou could use some Red Stocking beer

Been to the school of Stanley Unwin RT?

[veggiechicken]

May I trouble you for another tankard of your special brew, Master brewer?
It is the perfect accompaniment to my simple repast of oat cakes, cheese (minus the blue bits) and a rocket salat from the home garden.

Wow that last batch be powerful brewed

[veggiechicken]

Yeah, well, I couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your thoughts
