It's not often I visit the Café these days. But I thought I'd share a little piece of loveliness with you all.
On the 2nd August 2015 I had my adoubement ceremony naming me the first official resident jester of Conwy for 700 years. Most won't know Conwy, so I'll explain briefly. It's a walled medieval town in North Wales, UK. It was built in the late 13th Century, and has a castle at its heart. The walls are mostly intacked and visitors can walk around them. I highly recommend doing a little Google search to find out more. And if you're visiting the UK you should spend some time here. Anyway, I am now the town's official jester. An honour that isn't bestowed on many in the 21st century and so I thought I'd post here for those that care for this kind of pomp and ceremony.

Well done, its great that these old traditions are being kept alive.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Congratulations!!!!!
A great, and appropriate, honour. I'm moving shortly from Wild West Wales back to Cornwall. There the tiny hamlet of Bolingey declared me the Village Idiot. A title I still treasure. |

A quite late congratulations!
It is said, within the SCA that: "Jesters and Magicians are the freest of the realm, for it is only they who can speak the Truth to the Crown with little fear of retaliation." Well done, my lord! |
