[Nordskogen] Greetings from An Tir!

[Dale and Kate Collins]

Baron Rodrigo,

My thanks for your warm welcome!  I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a move more now.  LOL

Be warned, Your Excellency!  Should such excessive punning be your want, tread lightly within the lands of An Tir.  We do have a Grand Puntiff who does enjoy whacking those who pun-ish the populace in such a manner with their Badge of Office (a rubber chicken) and do instruct that you wear a favor (WOAW or TWIT) on your person so that the populace may run away!  There is a tax imposed if such a favor is not worn!  You have been warned!

I shall keep you all apprised as to our plans!

YIS
Kate the Candlemaker

  Greetings and Welcome!

  We hope relocation is a blessing and you find your new home as warm (or
  warmer :) as is currently.  

  Your families interests in the Arts and Sciences will find a welcoming niche
  in Nordskogen as it is one of the things our populace excels at.  We have a
  'well knitted' group of fiber fans and in general a very active group of
  creators of many different things.

  May your travels here be uneventful and your arrival well celebrated!

  Rodrigo.

  Greetings unto Their Excellencies Baron Rodrigo and Baroness Khadijah, and
  unto the Populace of Nordskogen!

  I hope this missive finds all with good health and spirits!  Please allow me
  to introduce myself.  Within the Society, I am known as Kate the
  Candlemaker, merchant of "pretty smellies" (aka candles) and current
  resident of the Kingdom of An Tir.

  Life being such as it is, it is possible that my Lord and Husband's
  employment may change over the next 4-5 months and we may find ourselves
  relocating to your Lands.  To that end, I wished to say hello and perchance
  make some new friends before the move would take place (if it does).

  My Lord and I have been married these past 12 years, and have two daughters
  (ages 9 and 5).  He does not play as I do, but my daughters enjoy the SCA as
  well.  My oldest is interested in archery, and all things fiber.  She is
  currently working on a shawl for her very first A&S competition at the end
  of January.

  As I said, I am primarily a merchant.  I also participate in A&S
  competitions and have some absolutely wonderful information on the
  Waxchandler's Guild in London if anyone would like to peruse!

  We will be starting to look at jobs in the area by the end of February.
  Some friends of ours local to us now are moving to Mound in the summer,
  which is why we are looking at the area.  My husband currently works in
  aerospace, but is open to new jobs that don't come with bosses that
  pigeonhole him (long story).

  Enough of my early morning babbling (tis 5:30 am here).  I look forward to
  hearing from new friends!

  In Service,
  Kate the Candlemaker
