| From the Baron & Baroness | ||
| The ice and snow of the Thescorre winter has melted away into the traditional soggy springtime. With the return of warm weather, it’s time for the Barony to once again begin contemplating the distant horns of war. We attended the opening exhibition of 17th and 18th Century still life paintings from the Medici collection at the Memorial Art Gallery. This was a lovely affair that included achingly beautiful and amazing Medieval and Renaissance choral music by Musica Spei in the museum’s grand fountain court. The paintings themselves are a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Italians just after our period of study--particularly the fruits and vegetables they cultivated and ate! We also got to hug fellow Thescorrean Aelis, who was similarly dressed up for the gala. The exhibit, Natura Morta, runs through to May 27. Speaking of wonderful Thescorreans, we give warmest thanks to Katyanna, William, Dubheasa, and Eldjarn for creating most of the gorgeous new baronial order medallions and to Kadlin for scheduling this medallion-painting session at a social meeting. However, with heavy hearts we bid fond farewell to one of our favorite gentles, Lord Lionheart, the corporal of our Brute Squad, who is taking a long (but temporary) journey to faraway lands. We wish him godspeed and safe return. We were thrilled by all the Thescorre participation at Ice Dragon last month, in the lists, in the kitchen and behind the troll table, and on both sides of the Pent… not to mention proud of the Thescorreans so rightly recognized in Court that evening. (Vivant Lady Ingridr, Their Lordships Timothy & Ulric, and Her Ladyship Bryn!) We look forward to witnessing the passing of the kingdom from Christopher & Morgen to Rurik & Angelik and pledging to hold Their Barony for Them at Coronation this month. We also plan on attending Crown Tourney and Æthelmearc War Practice as gentles across the kingdom ready for War… Eric & Katja |
