Very nice, Tiggy! :o)
Ok, I have something to ask. I've been trying to get a
copy of the Children's songbook for nigh on two years
(basically since I left Ansteorra) and I need a major
favor from you guys:
If anyone has a spare copy of the Ansteorran
Children's Song Book, PLEASE contact me OFFLIST so
that I can arrange to get a copy. I really would like
to get a copy of this as I am trying to put together
an Atenveldt Children's songbook.
Thank you so much. I miss you guys!
Yours in service to Crown & Kingdom,
Lady Eleanor Cleavely
