[Nordskogen] Greetings from An Tir!

[Dale and Kate Collins]

Cainnech,

Greetings!  Believe it or not, I lived in Shittemwoode when I first moved up from the West   The area is great!  It's been not quite 14 years since then, so I fear we didn't get much of a chance to chat before you moved LOL.

I'm technically in the Shire of Wyewoode (south King County), but got adopted by the Barony of Glymm Mere.  I did win the Ursulmas A&S Championship last year!  I'm plotting a repeat win this year in a few more weeks.  The candles that I've made since then are definitely an improvement over last year's entries, and my documentation's grown by leaps and bounds.  Nothing but a pretty unassuming paper last year, binder with over 100 pages of neat stuff this year.  

Glad to know there's someone nearby that'll understand about TWITS and WOAWS should we move!

Kate the Candlemaker

  Hi!
  I'm an ex-pat from Shittimwoode, been here in Nordskogen for ...gack...nearly 16 years now. 
  Are you from Aquaterra then? (you mentioned being an Ursulmas A&S champion...)
