Hoping the photo works...
This is me (in the black hat), my daughter, and my granddaughter, spending a day in the year 1642.
Lindsey has set herself up in the village of Little Woodham as a leather worker, and hopes to learn smithing before long (there are historical records of female blacksmiths in this period).
Oswin, is the leather worker's apprentice, but also showing children how to play games like 'cup and ball'.
I'm currently learning how to card wool, use a spinning wheel (I think I prefer the drop spindle at present) and talking to people about period clothing.
All in all, a very enjoyable day.
