Dear Alan, i certainly hadn't forgot it, it just seems not many people share the same enthusiasm for it as i do. Now, where have all those fair Maidens gone! :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Do be careful OH. Remember what happened to the poor dragon.

On September the 5th, the Dragon was tried and convicted. His fire was put out and his maiden-devouring license revoked. Maiden devouring out of season is punishable by a term of not less than 50 or more than 300 years.

Cheers for that John, i will be most careful, but there again, i'm always careful when it comes to Fair Maidens. :)

And even Old Dragons when it comes to it. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

You'll have to come up North for the real fun.

St George's Day is being celebrated with events across England, including a dragon hunt and medieval combat training at a Lancashire castle.

Clitheroe Castle is hosting a three-day extravaganza over the Easter weekend, also including weapons and armour handling and storytelling.
