 The thing that seems to take the most time is FINDING things in the Inventory. Between the sheer volume, and not knowing WHAT a thing is called, search can only do so much. Thus the blog, with items called out as they are listed in my inventory, with sizing in parenthesis after the item. Because I don't wear the same sizes all the time.  Currently: Classic meshbody (including hands and feet) , Catwa Freya head (Teeth4)

 Or what can pass for pajamas. Because the Mayor has mentioned a "pajama party" I thought I would have an outfit ready.  SNOWMEN SWEATER IN BLUE (Maritreya) Shanti Blizzard Leggings (TMP)

 While the largest part of this level was forest, there were a few farms, another small village, and a handful of noble houses. I enjoyed hunting the wide variety of animals that were good for serving in the Green Man. Also enjoying watching the animals not good to eat live their lives.  racoon one of two families of skunks Fox Elk - good eating on them Fox watching hens Fox on lookout road near noble house and winery vineyards The vineyard Another view of the road Another fox More elk The bear in his den - I first found the bear in a hedge row near the village. The Green Man often had a dinner special of "bear bites" - roasted bear meat with root vegetables on a plate. One of our more popular dishes for the fighting man. 

 Oldtown, a small city of hard streets and commerce. A bank, a dock, a tavern and an inn, various artisans, and a market square. Here I procured fish for the Green Man, salt, carrots and a few other odds and ends not available in the village.  The bridge to the city First look The Doc at Oldtown - also the welcome area for the sim. The roofed wall to the left carried information, and a few free costumes. Not visible in this view are the baskets of fish, freshly caught in the waters.

 The Oldtown village had many creature comforts, and all the artisans and craftsman a small village could need. In addition to the Green Man, we had a tea house with a couple of rooms to let, a dressmaker, an apothecary, a blacksmith, a tanner, a small bath house behind the tavern, a sawyer, a small farm with pigs, cows, goats and the corral with His Lordship's horses. Also a well, which served all village. The village was bounded on one end by the bridge to the city, on the other by the bridge to the forest.  The bridge to the city The well with the sign indicating the road to Oldtown The main square of the village, with the dress maker and the apothecary The apothecary and the Precious Peacock Tea Room Banner on the back wall of the Precious Peacock Even a few real peacocks around the tea room The bridge to the forest

 While they are gone now, an RP sim I enjoyed playing on was "GOT-New Beginnings" based in a preindustrial world inspired by George R. Martin's  A Song of Ice and Fire books, set a handful of years after the end of the TV series.  I was the tavern keeper at The Green Man Tavern in the village on the outskirts of Old Town. Cooked meals, served drinks, encouraged 'bardic nights' at the Green Man. I enjoyed the storytelling, jokes and rowdiness. We sure had fun.  The main room at the Green Man The main room, view towards the kitchen A closer view of the serving bar The kitchen, with Hop Sing, our chef Me cooking at the stove

 Once Upon A Time in real life I studied the heraldry of Europe in the Middle Ages, from which I developed an interest in flags and banners. The banners displayed in town, the tapestries displayed at various establishments all have their appeal.
