The Gumeracha Mediæval and Rare Crafts Fair is on over the first weekend in May at the Gumeracha Park in country South Australia. I will be performing there as a singer and storyteller, also selling dyes suitable to the period as well as seeds and live plants used to make the dyes. Yastreb may well be coming with me as an apprentice storyteller (I think he is going to be very good, people enjoyed his work last year).

My friend Liz will also be there singing with the Umbrella a Capella choir. The whole event promises to be great fun. We will have tanners, blacksmiths, wood turners, musical instrument makers, brewers, coopers, boat builders (and a Viking boat), the Spinners and Weavers Guild and all manner of other interesting stuff. Plus dancing (including an amazing Ukrainian Traditional Dance group), plus falconers, fighters, horse riding displays, wandering musicians and more. Lots of good food too. If you can’t see me (my avatar picture is a pretty good cartoon of how I look in real life) ask around for Bev the Bard.

The Mylor English Ale is also on at the Mylor Oval and Community Hall on May 18th, though I probably won’t be there this year since I had already agreed to do a different gig at Mannum before the date for the Ale was finalised, dammit. I may get there for the evening part of the event, the torchlight parade and bonfire, but I doubt it unless my transport situation changes dramatically.

Ever had a paper cut *there*?

I love Witch Door!

Any takers for April?

Swan takes only the good stuff!

Files won't give you any lip.

Huh. Nobody had been notifying of updates in this thread, so I hadn't caught up in a while.

Morriwolf, did you mean the work as a whole to date, or just the last couple of installments?

I can't figure out why they'd need to break into that line; they're not going through a cleft barely wide enough for one creature, there's plenty of room for the hungry party to fit by next to the slow party. But at least some of them seem to have names, which is a nice change.
