Hi there. Just joined here. I'm 38, British but live in Michigan, USA. I am into the medieval and renaissance times, love to get dressed up in court gowns and attend renaissance festivals. Have many hobbies, mostly making chainmaille jewellery and dreamcatchers, I love to travel, reading fantasty and medieval books, history fascinates me now and then. Mum to four children, three have Autism and my eldest daughter lives back in England with her dad.

Well enough for now, I look forward to sharing many things and discuss many things in life in general with you all and to make few friends too.

Hello Guinevere! Enjoy your visits with us. I'm a Yankee, but live in Georgia USA. :wah:

Here's a welcome mat for you.

Hi there!

Greetings from wherever I am this week.

Hi. With hobbies like that are you a member of the SCA - it would be right up your street.

Actually not exactly, but I attend renaissance festivals dressed up in renaissance court gowns. Does that answer your question? Also with a name like yours, I know for a fact that it's welsh, mawr is welsh for big as I am welsh.

Bryn Mawr is Big Hill but I promise I'm not *that* big

With a name of Guinevere I'd assumed you were Welsh - a true princess of the blood without a doubt.

Take a look at the Society of Creative Anachronism - you might find it interesting.

Don't worry, I know what you mean that you're big. Big is also known for being tall too, so I presumed you are tall. So may I ask is it your nickname or something??

I'm a huge fan of Arthurian times and I was born in North Wales and lived most of my younger years there, then moved to the West Midlands and now Michigan in the USA.

Well I know some about SCA but I prefer medieval and renaissance actually, but thank you anyway for suggesting it to me, I do appreciate that.

I chose Bryn Mawr when I joined this forum purely so that I would be recognised by the person that invited me to join but now I use it as my cyber identity wherever I go.

I grew up on the Arthurian cycle and although it is (in its current form) demonstrably cobbled together five hundred years after the events I still see the legend as the basis for the British national identity.

Well good for you. It's a good name. I use Guinevere a lot too and Lady Guinevere as my character name when I attend renaissance festivals.
