What are the Five W's? I might be up for an appearance. I'd like to debut my new Roman guise somewhere soon...<br>

I'll be there for the whole period, but will only be gladiating (is that a real word?) during the last week, up until then I will be doing repairs on armour, learning some new armouring skills and building some 's' bend hooks. (that last comment won't make any sense to anyone not at Chedworth this last weekend<br>
<br>
See you there. <p>Graham Ashford

Hi there<br>
<br>
I am counting the days.( I can't wait)<br>
I do have one problem though and that is the mosquitos they do tend to have a great feast on my family.<br>
Any body out there with a cure !!!<br>
<br>
<br>
7 days to go<br>

for mosquitos, any spray that has a lot of Deet in it. <p></p><i></i>

[JRSCline]

Well, since I simply must do some kind of a Roman re-enactment event in 2003 before I leave for Egypt, I'll try to be there.<br>
<br>
Jasper, maybe I can meet you in Nijmegen, crash and then go together? Link up with Sander? This'll be the chance you missed to wear that charming tunic I offered you... we'll be a matched pair, like mistress and slave.<br>
<br>
Er, well, you can be my freedman instead if that's more palatable...<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Jenny <p></p><i></i>

[Praefectusclassis]

Eeehh, I agree on the first part, (i.e. meeting up etc), but I'm not sure about the second. You're free to do as you please of course <p>Greets<br>
<br>

[venicone]

ooooooooh jenny tell us more about this matching outfit............<br>

[JRSCline]

Oh, it's just a first effort, really. I used -- gasp! -- <em>cotton</em> for the fabric, and I confess I did not handsew the seams. However I am rather proud of the accoutrements. Maybe I'll take a photo, post it here, and you can tell me if I'll be laughed out of the event or not!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Jenny<br>
<br>
P.S. The slave outfit is very plain, nothing special.. Just a natural beige tunic. Jasper won't admit it but he has a pair of proper Roman shoes and would look perfectly fine in the outfit. Maybe he's just shy about his pale Batavian legs..?? <p></p><i></i>

[Praefectusclassis]

Since when do I have proper Roman shoes? That's news to me. I kinda postponed buying them for Xanten until we were sure we could go, so I didn't in the end.<br>

I wouldn't imagine you would get laughed out of the event, last year I saw some guys walking about wearing chain over their t shirts and jeans, one even had a little chain skull cap, they liked the feel of it!<br>
<br>
I shouldn't worry!<br>
<br>
All the best <p>Graham Ashford
