Welcome to November!  (Have you ever wondered why "November" has the prefix "nov-," meaning it's the ninth month? Well, here is a nice, extensive explanation!) I know it has been a few months since my last post, and I hope you are all doing well. The modern world has been quite, um, eventful, and all of that free time the pandemic gave me has been spent staring into space, eating baked goods, and watching in awe as His Excellency brings together some incredible classes. I wish I could tell you that I have completely overhauled our garb and we will appear next in splendor unparalleled, but in truth I have managed to do some repairs on one underdress. The past eight months have been taxing in so many ways that none of us were prepared for, and I hereby declare that waking up at least once a day gets you...

It has been a very busy, very stressful, and yet very quiet few months. So much has been happening in the modern and virtual SCA world that it’s easy to lose track of how much time has passed, and such is the case with this blog post. I have several things to talk about, so please read on!...

Words from His Excellency, Thegn Clovis, Hello, my friends, I have missed you all. It was wonderful seeing many of you at our virtual Ceilidh on Zoom last Monday. It was especially nice to see Terra Pomarians I have not seen in many years. If you are one of those who struggle with modern technology, please reach out before next month's Ceilidh we will help you get set up or you may use a "call in number" to connect in. I am excited to let the rest of our Barony know that we, with careful planning, held court at our virtual Ceilidh. Iskander ibn Ji'lid (Alex) was awarded the "Silver Apple" for his outstanding and continuous service to the barony. Iskander was the face of the Barony at last summer's demo at Canterbury. At that demo and others throughout the year he proved himself worthy of high honor for a Terra Pomarian...

My friends, it is certain that we live in interesting times. I am so happy to see how people are stepping up to help those around them, and to lift each other up. Terra Pomaria, I am proud to be your Baronesa, and a member of this wonderful Barony. Thegn Clovis and I have been working on projects around our house and yard, and I now have magnificent raised garden beds. I saw today that Her Excellency Ainslee has been producing some truly magnificent inkle-woven trim. Whether we hone our SCA game to its finest edge or don’t touch our projects for the duration of our time at home, how we deal with this sea of change in our lives is exactly how we need to deal with it. Our greatest concern for all of you is that you be well, in body and heart. Please, if you need help, let...

Friends and fellows, as we bid farewell to one year and bid welcome the next, Thegn Clovis and I would like to express how very much we have enjoyed serving as your Baronial Coronets these last eight months. We have traveled to many events, met new people, faced challenges with the support of our Barony, and reveled in the community we find here in the SCA. The support and friendship we find here in Terra Pomaria and in the Society has been invaluable over the last month, as we navigated some rough waters in our modern lives. It has been inspiring to watch as the Barony has stepped forward, not only in support of ourselves, but of several other members as they have seen difficulties come their way. One of the many highlights of 2019 was the opportunity to introduce a new baronial award, first given to HL Ulf the Wanderer...

Hail and well met, good gentles of Terra Pomaria and lands beyond! The days pass and the times change, and sometimes a good letter between friends is like a warm embrace. In this case, the letter is online and the embrace is digital, but I am hoping to use this forum to update information about the progress of Thegn Clovis and myself, Baronesa Ximena, and to let you know when something particularly exciting is going on. And when it's a beautiful day and I can't help myself. Autumn has come and we are in the thick of our monthly gatherings. Ceilidhs are the second Monday of each month (we're working on locations, so keep an eye on where it will be in a given month), Scribal the third Wednesday of the month, business meeting the third Monday, and Arts & Sciences the fourth Sunday! Of course, we also have archery and...
