NEWS


A grand weekend was had by all ....

Well the medi fayre is done and dusted for another year :) and :(. :( cos it was bloody expensie what with what I bought and for paying my way while down at ^Elandria's and :) cos I had a bloody excelent time meeting up with *Amazonofexeter and Lanny again .. I really enjoy spending time with good friends ..

Anyway .. I hope I have a barrel of new stained glass from our trips out to Tewksbury and Lichfield Cathedral and my visit back home to the lovely Hereford Cathedral ... Makes me wonder why I left it to live in the hell hole that is Wigan :( Oh and I got me some pics from the lil crypt there, so along with the pics from the crypt at Worcester Cath, that I forgot about I will try and get me some stock packs together for them soon :)

And on the whole knight stock front, little by little we are gettng there .. got me a helm a lil like this [link] so a few more bits and you will see me in front of the cammy :D (or :S) not sure how good that is but hell there you go ...

Erm thats really it atm .. Please take a look at the contest below I think its a really good one for D.A. and am looking forward to seeing some of the interpretations what with the Arthurian legend being based in a Saxon/Medieval setting really does sit with me well :)

Ok as said last weekends stock pack was a no goer cos I was getting my ass thrashed at Magic By both Lanny and her Fiance .. oh and having to listen to Amazons god aweful humour, and I thought I was abysmal,  But hopefully I shall be back on track for this weekend :)

Oh and ta John for all the chocie nom nom nom :D

Well till next time ..... C'YA ! ! !  !

"You walk deep into myth, into mystery.
You see a locked chest and a key.
You open the lid and find the ultimate treasure.....
IMAGINATION"


The question that everyone asks - was Arthurian Legend Fact or Fiction?
Did the legendary stories and people of Arthurian Legend actually exist or were the stories surrounding the legend a figment of a writer's imagination?

Heya munchkin :) hope your feeling ok .. not heard for bloody ages .. though I havent been that active myself .. hope you is cool (I know you are :))

Yeah, I'm okay. Been a bit slack lately computer-wise. Have my good days and my bad days healthwise and the bad days seem to be more frequent and the good days not as good as they used to be.

But, all in all, I'm fighting the good fight and not going down without one almighty Aussie Struggle!

As for "cool" well, I just put a doona (quilt) on my bed as it is getting colder now. Last night it got down to 21 degrees celcius and I was too cold to sleep, but too cold to get up and get my doona! Also, too lazy... :shh:
Reply
:iconcausticstock:
Whoa 21 degree's :S damn thats chilly LOL

So glad your fighting the Aussie struggle :) no point giving up .. hark at me the amount of times I have thought of giving up over the last few months .. things are looking up though :)

Me too. It's easy to withdraw when the ole depression hits.

I'd give anything to be able to afford a trip to the UK.

Ah well, maybe one day. I'm not dead yet!!! :w00t:

:iconcausticstock:
LOL glad to hear your not dead .. the world would be a darker (yet slightly quieter) place :)

Nice helm. I admit a prefference to a close helm over the one you picked, but I'm not the one wearing it.

Does it come with a chin strap or just the stand?
Reply
:iconcausticstock:
No the one I have is only similar to that .. it has a brass cross on the front and is proper heavy metal so it will take a bashing :) .. I also plan in the future getting maybe another .. I wat a norman helet like the one used in Kingdom of Heaven so I can do open faced helm stock too :D
