Alas, Dear Reader! Your humble correspondent has been laid low by a miserable cold and is therefore unable, for a second week in a row, to bring you glad tidings of our fair Shire’s Fencing Practice. If such tidings should come to you, pray send them on to me at webminister@rustedwoodlands.eastkingdom.org.

(If you would like your very own, shiny, “@eastkingdom.org” email address, simply visit the East Kingdom New Account Portal.)
