Igor

 Greetings

I have recently found another photo from my time in the Far Isles Medieval Society.

My second personna was Sir Igor Ross, Lord Red Dragon, knight of the Silver Falcon

His mother was from Ukraine and his father was a Scots mecenary,hence he had dealings with the Muscovy Company. Well, when you've got contacts at both ends...

I used a n the name I had first come up with for a tabke-top role playing charcter. The system I was using rolled up all aspects of the character, including sex and social status.

I rolled up a lesser nobilty werwolf, so I thought 'family curse' and Igor, the Weird of Ross, was born...

Until next time

 Greetings

Teddy was showing someone some old photos the other weekend and this one was amongst them.

I think this was sometime in the mid 1990's and this is what I looked like then.

This is a Far Isles Medieval Society event and I am dressed as the Bishop's evil twin, James de Velmont, Master of Danmar. He wore lots of rings (two of which could be opened) and did 'little favours' for the Medicci...and the Borgias... and the Doge...and the Pope...(you get the idea).

Here's a close up

Until next time

Anya's Birthday Ball

 Greetings

Teddy and I have been going to Regency Dance class for a few years now.

We usually do not attend any balls in the Spring and Summer, as Teddy overheats in costume and I have to give priority to my medieval re-enactment group, the Paladins of Chivalry.

However, one of our friends from Regency dance had decided to throw a private ball to celebrate her 6oth and the venue was only a half hour drive away, so we decided to go. We also offered to get there early to help with setting up chairs and tables etc.

Teddy was hoping to wear his new coat, but, partially due to the extremely hiot weather, but mostly due to the darstadly recalcitrant sleeves, this was not finished, so he wore his wrapping gown and long waiscoat.

I wore my line officer's uniform( with order of the Thistle)and my' Peninsula' medal, but when I got there, I realised I'd forgotten to pack my epaulettes.Oh, well, I blamed my man...

Here is a picture of other attendees marking their dance cards as they enjy some celebratory champagne.

The meal was picnic style , bring our own food. So we brought our tin plates, wooden bowls, napkins , coloured glass goblets, pottery jugs etc and( as Teddy was in charge of the catering) too much food.

We ended up taking the pork pie and all the scotch eggs home again..

The.ball was great fun and I danced most of the dances, despite the heat.

Teddy, unfortunatlely, found he'd pulled a muscle on his rib getting chairs down from a rack and had to sit out ( I strapped it up for him the next day and that seemed to help a lot).

We stayed at the end to help the hall's caretaker to put all the chairs and tables away, but his did not delay us overmuch and we were home before midnight.

Until next time
