First Darkweaver Translation!

Harry Enfield and Chums at the KLQ.
by Mark RobsonThe UK Final of the Kid’s Lit Quiz was held in Oxford this year at the prestigious Oxford Town Hall.

Another quiz - and tough competition!

What makes a winner?
by Mark RobsonFor those who have been following the posts on my progress at Tae Kwon Do, you will know that I was disappointed not to get an ‘A’ at my red belt grading in the summer. It was particularly irritating to me as I’d prepared better for that test than for any of the previous […]
The Battle of Edgecote
by Mark RobsonLast Saturday was a glorious day here in the Midlands. Bright sunshine. Warm, bordering on hot. A fantastic day indeed to watch upwards of 200 men dressed in full armour, hacking at one another with swords, axes, polearms and anything else they could lay their hands on. This was an event […]
Well, well! What have we here?
