Early Week – Some of the feast equipment is floating to the top and getting put away. There’s more that hasn’t reappeared.

Cookery – Rizky and spaetzle got made on Tuesday. Getting better at those.

Sewing – Last thing last week Anja flipped that footstool cover and is working up the other side, having picked out the oopsie. She got a page made chronicling the progress. https://mabscreations.wordpress.com/project-gallery/footstool-covers/ . Several pieces of the Sartor scraps got prepped early in the week and then a bit of sewing happened later in the week.

Herb Bunch – Plant pictures along with the tending, this week. A bunch of plants in the north window got shifted around and more plant shelves put up.

Miscellaneous pix

‎Kilian Head‎ to SCA Virtual Classroom and Artisan Display Hope everyone is doing well. Stay the hell home and enjoy some plague history. The Plague Stone in Penrith Sitting incongruously beside the main road is this little noticed and unloved stone. But the story it tells is as fascinating as it is sad. In 1597 the Plague struck in Penrith. Normal life in the town was suspended as the disease tore through the population. Farmers living around Penrith were too terrified of the plague to risk bringing their goods to market. So there were serious food shortages to compound the townsfolks’ problems. So plague stones were set up around the outskirts of the town. These stones had a hollow filled with vinegar. Townsfolk left coins in the vinegar and retreated a safe distance. Farmers then brought food and left it by the stone and took the money. The plague finally released its grip after 15 months having killed almost half of the population of the town. Such plague stones were quite common around England but few now remain.
