Our journey has been one of friendship, joy, partnership, and family. We met for the first time at a Ceilidh, our Baronial social night, and began exploring the SCA and eventing together with a little group of fellow newcomers. After three years, it became clear that “best friends” wasn’t enough. We committed our lives to each other as husband and wife, and with the years came our 5 children. The rest, as they say, is history Over more than two decades, our journey in the SCA has offered us the privilege of knowing and learning from many inspiring people in our Barony: Baronesses and Barons, officers, volunteers, households, and artisans. Through changing faces and changing times, we have found community, purpose, and countless moments of joy.

We enjoy trying new things. Especially love pies (both savory and sweet), apples (prefer peeled), grapes, olives, smoked and pepperjack cheeses, summer sausage, rye bread, stew. We also like cheap food and kids’ food (bring on the mac&cheese and PB&J). Spicy is also fine. Adele does not like things that are tough or hard to chew. No goat milk/cheese.
Drinks: Black teas, coffee with sugar and cream (no non-dairy creamer), most fruit juices and sodas, just no artificial sweeteners please. We do drink alcohol on occasion: Wines or ciders with dinner, spiced rum or gin for mixed drinks. Rafe likes mead, Adele likes port. Not fans of hoppy-tasting beers.

Rafe: Per chevron sable and argent, a demi-sun issuant from base azure. Rafe’s symbol is a sunrise of blue fire.
Adele: Or, two chevronels vert, that in chief charged with a rose Or. When Adele was born, it was late October, and her mother’s wish was for her newborn to smell a rose. The only flower blooming so late in the season was a yellow rose from a neighbor’s garden. For Adele, it became a symbol of optimism, joy, and beauty.
Terra Pomaria’s first Baron and Baroness were His Excellency Cesare the Merchant and Her Excellency Astrid of Flanders. They were elevated to serve as founding Baron and Baroness by Gunnarr II and Gabriell II at the May Crown Tournament XXVII (May 16th, 1992).
Over the years, they have been followed by a distinguished line of noble successors. Read more about Terra Pomaria’s nobility at the An Tir Culturewiki.
