Meeting Archer

  It was when I went to a York market, close to an old and unused Jewish temple, since the massacre of the Jews  at York Castle and the leaving of some,there are not many Jews left in town.







  As I was saying, I went to York today, and without Brigid,  to get a few things to put into the pantry when I happened upon a crowd watching a somewhat handsome man showing off his perceived skills as an archer and a swordsman, however his ego is bigger because he calls himself Archer. Needless to say I was not impressed and continued on with my shopping.


 When I was looking over the apples is when a large paw in disguise as a man's hand came upon mine as I was reaching for the fruit. I looked to see that the hand belongs to Archer and he is giving me a look that made me feel things that only my husband should make  me feel. Naturally, I did not let this be known to him for I gave Archer an irritated and haughty look and asked him to kindly remove his hand before I call for a soldier to remove it for him. He just grinned and kept looking at me and making me feel in ways that I have not felt in a long time. Not since Sir Guy loved me. I ache for his touch while writing this.

  Anyway, all Archer did was stand there and give me that look for the longest time or so it seemed. He also finally removed his hand and winked at me. So naturally I became flustered and slapped him and returned to my abode without any apples and a cross Brigid waiting for me. But for the first time in along time I feel free or as free as a woman can in my position.

Explanation of Absence

  Went with Brigid to the market for the first time today upon our coming to York. Yes, I know it is past time that I get out and meet new people, but I have not been feeling well since coming here. I believe it has been a blend of the long journey from Nottingham and Sir Guy's betrayal, for I have come to believe that he is the one that has done the betraying, for it was never me, that had made me ill. Brigid wanted to send for a bleeder but I would not allow it. I would rather die of a broken heart than have a leech put upon me. That may yet happen.

Journey to York

  After a long and tiring journey north, through the snow and cold and the carriage getting stuck more than a half dozen times to I have made it to York only a few days ago and not by choice. *Sighs deeply* Yes, this was Sir Guy's choice of exile for me. I am surprised he did not send me to a convent, but that may be only a matter of time. Instead, it seems that he has set me up in a smaller house in York, with dear Brigid, servant and at heart a member of my family since my earliest awareness.

  I do not know what will become of me, but I want my fate in my own hands and not in Guy's, so I am of the mind that it would be wise of me to look into making our way south to Poitiers during the spring. However, that would mean going around Nottingham or through it neither one is a safe choice. Now if it can be done, I would like to make a return visit home to Eiru. There will not be much left, but it still would be nice to see home again.

Waterfall

Until my writer's block unblocks enjoy the waterfall. Maybe if I do enough photo edits and such I'll be able to write.
