Re: Who are you?

I am an Australian, 50 years young, who has been a member of the SCA (learning about history by trying to do the things as they were done in the past) for going on 9 years.  I've always loved history, but the SCA has made me aware of documentation, of PROVING, even if only to myself, that what I BELIEVE happened has a basis in fact.

One of my main interests is Saxon England.  I've done a Medieval cooking course on line which featured two texts on Anglo Saxon cooking, so my next endeavour is to learn the language so I can read the texts (leechcrafts/ AS Chronicle etc) in the original language.  I've yet to make AS clothing, but that's on the agenda.

Add to that the current financial crisis has forced me out of work, so I am now a Uni student and my Minor is History (twentieth century, but I really really prefer the Saxon period), and this is a nice easy to use site.

I was directed here from one of the SCAs many interest-focussed lists.
