Quite a lot of the time we hung out with therru's brother and his family.





You can see that he's really into period cooking.

I fully understand your rationale, and agree with it. I think it looks splendid. "Hand-twisted cordage, from nettle..."! That would be really grand!

As for Dame Eleanor (the persona, not me) "she spends most of her time at the court of Elizabeth I, as a confidante, lady-in-waiting, and a member of the Queen's suite, when not attending to her manor lands", so naturally, she enjoys a fair deal of comfort. Wrought iron was very much more readily avalable in my period...1575-90 England, so it works well for me, in that way. :)

And to braies or not to braies...just follow your bliss. ;->

Different social class and 600 years will do that. Interestingly, the high class personas have the most problems. I was talking to Master Arenvalt, and teased him about the fact that he must be a horrible master, since he had been unable to find one single servant who would stay with his household, never mind the half dozen or so he would have been expected to have with him even when *roughing* it in a camp. My persona could chop his own firewood and pitch his own tent. Even if it would have been womens work to cook the food, but since I'm what passes for a group campfire cooking guru...
