Not well at the moment. My baby girl sent a daisy up to me with her big sister. She’s not one for sentimental gestures usually.

Awesome. I got us back to Anglo Saxons ;-) and I think I’ve got some big discoveries on how the class works. I’ll email :-) screenshot is for you, summing up how things are here.

Working on book #illustrations today. This has taken all day. It hopefully shows #medieval animals in #wychwoodforest.

It’s an old picture because he’s in doggy heaven, but this may amazing rescue Apollo -a puli/pumi, already geriatric when I got him. He Liked to pull me towards people smoking weed on walks, preferably if they were in alleyways; would only eat if I spoon fed him. The opposite of an assistance dog.

This is what home education looks like here:

1) many trips to wales, to collect rocks and to visit castles.

2) Big one comes with me to exciting things as they’re my carer and so is my voice, gopher and responsible adult

3) working together or side by side with small one

4) exploring the arts

“Elfshot” is my preferred term for fibromyalgia. An Anglo-Saxon way of describing a condition which felt like you’d been shot by lots of elf arrows.

With the invention of the motor engine though, it could be updated to ‘Elf Shot, and then reversed over by an elf truck’

Smug time:I’ve excelled myself today! I have done all my Christmas shopping apart from chocs and booze.

I have also bought this to start my five year olds training.

#Coventry Charterhouse from the air! I believe the garden is planted to show where the monks cells were (Carthusian’s lived almost in total isolation in a single cell). The Priors house (top left) is sometimes open to the public, and would be where the rectory and guests were. Photo by my husband 🦋

If you were me and you looked like this (green dress), and you already had the black fabric to make the Knights Hospitaller nun outfit, would you entirely abandon it to make a Spanish infanta inspired dress instead? And would you make your teenager walk next to you translating?

I’m working on my first non-fiction historical, research based book. It will be published by Pen & Sword next year. This is my mock up cover which keeps me. Next I hope will be a recreation of a knights Hospitaller nuns outfit, a 15th c gown and then the fiction version of this book I hope…

Kids in Living History Part Two: the WW2 years.
It helps if they like eating mud, and their jabs are up to date…

I made this #historicallyinspired jacket for my daughter to wear this year at events so she matched daddy. She wore it once and was sick on it and refuses to believe I’ve washed it since. Get your kids reenacting! Your arguments (and washing basket) become next level weird! 🦋💕🤪

Everyone needs a bridesmaid that looks like they stepped off a tomb, right?! Having my best day, or at least surrealist day ever, this year at #raglancastle home of William Herbert and a young ward, Henry Tudor. A bit #wibblywobblytimeywimey but #medieval none the less!

Found this photo (speak up if you took it!) doing the rounds of a late #14thcentury man looking thoughtful. In #Worcestercathedral. I made the clothes and I married the man. He’s 100% squinting to read something as he hasn’t got his glasses on 💕💋💋

Interesting find yesterday when this caught my eye in the MGH. “Langley of Prestwich” cockatrice, with “Langley of Warwickshire” quartered twice. With “Higgins”! And it’s not my line- or at least not yet! Confusing? Nah, heraldry has gone mad by 18th century…

I finished the manuscript for my first book yesterday. A non-fiction medieval one. I thought I’d be elated but I’ve gone paranoid now. But not as much as I was waiting for my jumper to be released into Good Omens lore.
