I’m really looking forward to Border War XI, this will be my 3rd Border War in a row, and whilst it’s not a big war it’s ful of wonderful people and is loads of fun to attend.

My first border war was when I was still fighting, and I got to experience my first Combat Archery Tournament which was done on the cricket pitch in the middle of the oval.  It was great and i have been hoping to see more of it, but have always been elsewhere when it has been hosted.  Border war does remind me each year about how slack a consort I am, as apart from Festival it is usually the only time I get to catch up with Lady Elizabeth De Bohan, someone who whilst attempting to inspire me to fight, really just inspires me to peace, tranquility and friendship.

My first Border War was where I was also introduced to that wicked stuff call Bearbait, which not only baits the bear, but brings it chrashing down in a heap of hangover induced inactivity.

This year i don’t have a 9-10 hour trip to get down there, so I’m really looking forward to it.  Are you?
