So my camping/cycling holiday didn’t go exactly to plan… it turns out my tent is not waterproof, or at least not waterproof enough. It’s perfectly fine in good weather and can take a light shower but it cannot take torrential rain, which is what we got on Saturday night and continued all throughout the Sunday. So I woke up at around midnight with water splashing on my face to discover the tent had filled up with water and basically become a pond! In the middle of the countryside it was pitch black and there were no houses for miles.

It’s the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee weekend tomorrow which means an extra-long bank holiday so I’m taking the opportunity to go on holiday and see Hedingham Castle in Essex. Hedingham Castle is the one which Kasper’s Castle in the comic is based on so I intend to take lots of photos for reference! There’s also a Knights of England Jousting Event going on Sunday & Monday with – you guessed it – jousting as well as have-a-go archery (I will have a go!), a craft fair, food fair and other awesome stuff I’m sure.
I’m going to make this a travelling holiday and go on my bicycle. The train route to Hedingham is involves going through the centre of London and I expect it will be crazy busy with Jubilee celebrations. I don’t travel well in vehicles, especially in crowded places (I get panic attacks) and it would take a long time. The route is much shorter across country and I can take my time and enjoy the scenery.
From my starting point on Oxford I’ll be going through Thame, Aylesbury, Whipsnade (cool Zoo here), Kimpton, Stanstead Mountfitchet (there’s a Castle there too!) until I eventually arrive at Castle Hedingham. I’ve not got to rush so it should be a nice, leisurely ride and I’ll be able to visit some of the local attractions along the way! I just hope the weather is good! (If it’s not I’ll find the nearest public transport and get on it).
I don’t have a fancy iPad or Android, so I’ll be uploading the photos from my adventures when I get back.
Amuletts and Clodin recieve the gift of chocolate eggs from Tinuvielle. However there are some strange runes written on them. As the pair peer at them they explode!
When I drew the Valentines Day bonus page the player of Tinuvielle was shocked! She said I was allowed to post it as long as she got revenge later. Well here it is!
Happy Easter everyone! I’m sorry this page is not shaded. I did not have a lot of time to complete it due to going on holiday. I may go back into and shade it later.
Happy Valentines Day!
So, under the influence of a love potion – a gift from Amuletts – Tinuvielle and Clodin do something absolutely unmentionable. (An elf and a dwarf together?! There’s gotta be a law against that)! Martin pulls some absolutely wonderful facial expressions in response and Dirk goes blind.
Being a holiday special this page does not fit into the story-line. I told Miriam (the player who controls Tinuvielle an our role-play game) about this page and she was absolutely horrified! So I put it up anyway. I may be punished for it later. See how nice I am to you guys, putting out a comic despite great personal risk?
