Hi all - or should that be salvete? My Latin is terribly rusty!
I'm Lindsay, a primary school teacher from Wales, but going back to university next year to do my MA in the archaeology and history of Greece and Rome. My first degree was in archaeology and try as I might, I just can't seem to go into any other career I'd love to get into re-enacting, as one of my main interests is historical costume, although I'd rather be a soldier than a camp woman any day. I like to try ancient techniques for sewing, spinning and dyeing (and the odd bit of cookery!) and my next big project will be weaving, though that's a while off yet.
I've joined the site to learn, but also to share my own knowledge, such as it is. I would like to get involved if there are any groups vaguely near Mid Wales!
