Weekly Twitter Round Up of The AethelflaedQuest (by sarah)
We are now about a week away from the Aethelflaed Festival in Gloucester to celebrate the 1100 year anniversary of Aethelflaed (actually its her death date but we are celebrating/remembering and learning about her life). A lot happened last week but a big chunk of it was in London so I don't think there are as many tweets as I was expecting! But on the other hand there have now been a couple of cases of other people using my hashtag which makes me soooooo happy 🙂
Meet Loki - who will be helping me with some of the leather and metallurgy workshop stuff during the @AethelflaedGlos festival in Gloucester - it is a rawhide and copper hammer Thor number 2 - I will be blogging about this little Bute later! #AethelflaedQuest #SalaricCraft pic.twitter.com/FsuZ4GHsVU

We had adventures in Londinium which apparently is no longer the capital of Essex - but right now it is gaming time - Aethelflaed is building herself a series of thrones.- once she has mined enough iron... #AethelflaedQuest #Minecraft pic.twitter.com/7IMtQTTdUR

Wombled leather scrapes ready to make things with the kids (I have card which can work as a non animal substitute for teaching the process/techniques) and borrowed goblets (not historically accurate but still fun 😉 ) #AethelflaedQuest pic.twitter.com/mwt0j0FhWX

The weather and traffic were not kind on my travels today - a 3 hour journey took 7 plus but it was well worth it for the fun had at #Historyshowoff yesterday and retrieving bits for the Aethelflaed festival we'll be at in #Gloucester in June #AethelflaedQuest pic.twitter.com/NiFHsLWwln
