Persona History:
1339 - 1399 England
After discovering all things Chaucerian during high school, and later discovering that I am a direct descendant of John of Gaunt, I am naturally drawn to this place and time.

- Housewifery - Sewing, cookery, cheese making, and smoking meats
- Herbalism - Gardening (all aspects), apothecary, lotions and ointments, soap making, teas/tisanes, dye stuffs, etc.
- Animal Husbandry - Keeping of goats, mules, and chickens
