I've bought a wood!

[veggiechicken]

What was that, I am startled out of my pleasant reverie by the galloping of 'osses - or is it the beat of me heart, perchance, or the raising of the blood flow from supping too much from the RT flagon

[RedThorn]

On second thoughts....

[RedThorn]

That's one of the merry... STOP that!

[veggiechicken]

It surely doth reach those parts that other ales cannot reach

[RedThorn]

ummm that glow's a special effect of yon flagon

[veggiechicken]

Thank ye, Master Brewer of the Red Thorn, I shall sup this on the quiet while the Merry men are away a-robbing of the rich. I can feel a warm glow within at the thought

[RedThorn]

Ahh tis a tisane and a miraculous cure to hear such mighty praise from the vision that you doth be, this humble brewer is speechless..


For you m'lady any time, psst here's a special flagon guaranteed to to please

[veggiechicken]

And a Very Good day to you too, Master Brewer! Its good to see you are in such good humour this day
May I compliment you on the quality of your brew - and may we imbibe ourselves on a few more of your ales this eve, Pretty please (smiles coquettishly).
There was many a leg last even that was stripped of green tights after a short while with a Red Stocking

Oh yeah, I just wanted to mention that if you need anyone to play havoc with the sheriff's tax collectors, then I'm your woman! I've always wanted a man with money!

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.

For soap we can use bracken's buried parts - dost yonder wood contain same? If not, horse chestnut trees, as well as providing hiding places from the dasterdly sherriff, also contain saponines in its seeds and can be used for the cleansing of our garments, both outer and under.

Editing....
Ye cannot keep up with this thread! Moved on from soap in a trice! Hey ho! (and another nonney nonney no.....)

[veggiechicken]

I think that's 6 barrels actually..........
You may have noticed, Midwife, that the Old Crone is also a Buxom Wench. She hides all sorts of things in her undergarments and Ii'm sure her cleavage alonee would be sufficient to hold a full cask of summat incredibly intoxicating - and a long straw

[Feral007]

Let's give em both barrels.........or else both posts

[Feral007]

Let's give em both barrels.........actually there might have been three people there offering their barrels! Oh well.
Being as I'm an uncouth colonial I will just ask say straight out.....that's a bit rich -no sooner does someone mention they've lost some ale down their cleavage and someone else is saying we need to send out search parties!
You'll be needing more than one midwife I'm thinking!

[veggiechicken]

Bladdy interfering wenches - you're all spoilsports.....
Can't a MAID have a little fun too
