[Northkeep] Is there any interest in starting an Herbal Guild?

[Kevinkeary at aol.com]

This is just a thought which came to me after reading the posts about  
yesterday's revel and thinking about a lot of the discussions I heard going  on. 
 We might consider starting an herbal guild here in Northkeep.  It  will 
need some thinking and planning but I would be quite happy if we had one as  
herbs are one of the things that drew me deep into the SCA and something I 
have  shared with many great friends among the SCA.  
 
How much interest would there be in starting an herbal guild that perhaps  
met once a month to discuss raising, harvesting, preserving using and the  
medieval uses of herbs?  In the spring we could possibly do trips to the  
local herbfests to find or learn about different herbs, even trading seeds and  
starts with each other. 
 
It's just something I thought of and want some feed back on so that we can  
decide if this is a good idea or if we just need to leave a few of us to 
hang  out and work together.

Lady  Taffline,

I do agree with you that it was a lovely revel and I had such  a wonderful  
time meeting new friends and catching up with old  ones.  I particularly  
want to thank Sir Angus for the  chivalrous offer of a comfortable seat and 
 
cushion, and his Lady,  who was kind enough to second the offer.  Also many 
 
thanks to  yourself and Loren, Aidan, Ulric, Ane` (sp?) Adalia (I am so 
sorry if 
I am  misspelling people's names!) for good company, songs and stories on a 
 
cold,  rainy, windy night.  You and the others who had to leave  due to 
other  commitments and the oncoming bad weather made me feel  that I had 
been 
away from  home for far too long.
And most  especially Baron Facon and Baroness Keigan and her stalwart  
consort  for their kindnesses and provision of a site that even my battered 
old   
wagon could travel to.  
The book on Wales we were speaking of  yestere'en is

I think you would enjoy it as it will help you fill in the blanks  about  
what your persona might have encountered and done. 
We will  have to put our heads together about matters herbal, as I am sure  
 
that we both have plants and resources that would be fun to  trade.

Yours In Service,

Mistress Alanna of Caer d  Pard
