I've bought a wood!

[cardiffsteve]

That be mine, what you be having?

[binley100]

Come and get it then........

[Glutton4...]

Hellooooooooo! It's so quiet and stille in the wood this evenynge - where is everybody? Have they been ambushed and captured? Taken prisoner by the evil Sheriff, or some other blaggard?

No! I know where they are! They've been mayking merrye in the clearing at t'other ende of the wood, and have yet to returne! They've been imbibing of the concoctions of the neighbourynge folke from over yonder, and have fallen asleepe in the sun.

Lazy so and sos!

Whilst not included in the partye, mine master and I have also been partaking; him of the ale and myselfe of the grin and it's usual accompanying tonic. The captured oxen now be ready for eating, I can smell it from here, so the goodly Cooke must have been busy toiling whilst the others were wasting their tyme...

[bearded bloke]

mine master, who wishes to watch some noisy speed-related sport,

Ahhh thou doest meaneth the "go roundy,roundy" race.chariots pulled by many powerful 'osses,I would hope that the "iceman" doeth well,for yay verily he is greatly talented & a proper gentleman of the sport.

[Glutton4...]

I like the idea of a tournament. However, mine Husband hath just departed for the market area, as I am in need of a replacement implement for tomorrow's work, this leaveth me with no help for the laundry, clearing and tidying (crafty sod!). However, it giveth me an ideal opportunity to dispose of some 'tat' that he will soon forget he hath horded (crafty cow!). Bonfire time, methinks!

When he returneth, he will, no doubt, soon be sat staring at his magical picture-box, as is his wont during the festival of Monaco, and others.

I am off this fine day to take my aged parent out for a merry jaunt in the carriage. Save me a place in the darts, oops, I mean archery team.

[mothhawk]

Good morrow all. I see Much proposes a tourney, verily an excellent idea. if it be too hot for the nags as our good ostler declares, then mayhap we may compete in other diverse ways.

Perhaps archery?



Or some lesser form more suited to our band of merrie men and ladies?

[Feral007]

Forsooth and fourfeet, fair maid was ridin' t' spotty nag this eventide - tis a good thing his spotty @rse doth shine in t' moonlight so the midwife mother can keep an eye on their progress.....not such a good thing for hidin' from t' sheriff tho! Let's hope they are up for the jousting - fair maid and I will be fighting over the carrot cake - the spotty beast can have the chocolate for his spotty self.

Did someone mention tidying? Hush thy mouth. Speak not such evil in my hearing.

Birth? Someone needs to celebrate a birth? I'll be in that. Verily I shouldst celebrate each of the births I've aided in....seems only fair.

[taff]

Orf with his head!!!!

[Glutton4...]

Jousting thy man? Jousting? In these temperatures!? I and my trusty steed will decline, if that be acceptable. Much ridden work was undertaken yesterday, and a rest is planned for this day. Perchance it be cooler tomorrow, then ask againe, and it may be considered.

Much tidying and preparations are planned for this day, with an interlude for mine master, who wishes to watch some noisy speed-related sport, from inside, during the hottest part of the day. It is the anniversary of his Birth on the morrow, and he will be working, so he's allowed a restful day today instead.

I trust I find thee well all after the imbibements and debauchery of last eve...?

[veggiechicken]

Why Much, methinks that would be Joust the thing for today. A Tournament, lots of hot and sweaty men and horses for us genteel and not quite so genteel (naming no names) Ladies of the Wood to admire.
I shall prepare a favour for the Winner

[bearded bloke]

,Then let the revelries continue apace...........................


On such a fine summers day as this the ale will surely flow freely (*I left the door unlocked on the ice house* ),methinks the 'Ostler & some friends with similar interests could put on for us lesser mortals a jousting competition (Chocky caaaake for the winner & carrot caaake for the winning oss),what say the fair maid

[veggiechicken]

Thank thee one & all for the many giggles this thread (sponsored by Spontaneous Stupidity) has given me

Much, Thanks to thee for keeping up supplied with the finer points of life in a wood. But remember, it ain't over until the Fat Lady sings and I'll not find my voice for ere a while yet

Gud'dye Midwife - art thou sober, I mean, well, today?
We need not miss the sun in the woode for long once we have a plan. Ye may needs to change your blood-stained smock for another guise but 'tis time it had a wash
Meanwhile, the sun doth continue to shine and refresh all parts, including those down-under . 'Tis time to hie me to the waterfall and stand beneath its cool, clear waters as there is already a heat in the air that may force us to seek out deeper shade later.
May the sun shine upon you also
