As usual, I left my camera in the bottom of my knapsack.

However, thankfully

My sweetie's fights, recorded by Duchess Nerissa - my own memory of them is different, because of my different angle

Just the finals, from Lady Aoife:

racaire1 is an excellent photographer - I expect her to post soon, as she took many many pictures - the ones I see there are of my Panache scroll, which is glorious.

It's hard to beat winning a tournament in a castle. :-)

Current Mood: thankful

Hurrah for Raglan ffaire.

The weather cooperated, mostly, allowing days largely free of rain to pursue the business of storming and defending the castle. The one downpour was on Saturday evening, requiring that court adjourn to the newly refurbished undercroft, where feast was held in that night. But I wasn't much bothered.

Robert and I had a splendid coronet tourney. As Robert said that evening, ours is the rare game where your opponent determines who wins; the seven other couples in the tourney made it possible for us to win this time. So we now stand as prince and princess of Insulae Draconis, for the coming six months.

While I don't feel terribly different at the moment, the pile of boxes in the lounge and the heap of e-mail to review are all very real, and we find ourselves in a game we know well, but playing a new role.

I'm really happy that so many people are happy for us; there was a great heartfelt cheer as Robert won the final bout, and we've heard many kind and delighted words since Saturday. I hope we can continue to keep up appearances and expectations.

Current Mood: chipper

...the PLN which is nicked from the Nac Mac Feegle in Discworld, in which the pictsie Big Man writes out the PLN, and says, 'right now, we have a plan, now we just have to figure out what to do!' in apprpropriate Scots dialect. (I'm re-reading the Nac Mac Feegle books to soothe myself on the Tube this week.)
( the trip )
I'll get to the tournament in time (posted an account to explain what happened to HE Clancy to the DWL), but honestly, much of the event was dominated by the trip itself.

( still more trip )( return journey )

Current Mood: awake

While their Celestial Magnificences Alaric and Nerissa have announced the three tourneys and A&S display to help the new prince and princess select champions, I thought I'd mention other activities taking place at Coronet:

1. Friday evening: Lady Trinite

mbroidress the kingdom Signet and Master Robert of Canterbury are planning a showcase of the many completed scrolls from the scribal backlog box.

Aside from enjoying the splendid display of Drachenwald scribal art, please take some time to look over the scrolls, and see if you recognise any recipients, and consider if you could help convey these finished works home.

The recipients deserve their honours, and the scribes deserve to have their works seen and enjoyed.

Many of these documents date back several years, so crusty old peers are especially welcome to drop by.

2. Scriptorium - the scribes have some space reserved by the large picture windows to putter on current projects during the day, and one room set aside for Sooper Seeekrit work.

No planned instruction, just working space and company, though novices and inquiries are welcome. Active scribes, please to bring your materials as travel and space allows.

3. A&S classes - these are scheduled in the afternoon after the tournament. More details TBA on site.

4. Dancing - I will bring music by Gaita and Wolgemut, and can direct some dancing in the evening. No formal instruction, just reminders ('it's the one that goes dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-hop-hop-dum-dum-dum...')

It is rumoured that Master Etienne may dance, in honour of the occasion. Get your tickets here!

Current Mood: excited
