Weekend Wanderings

Will you come with me, sweet Reader? 
 I thank you. Give me your hand. 

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood




Friar Tucks Forest awaits...
Overheard from a green and brown clad 7 year old Robin Hood:
I'd rather be at Lego Land.
Not these two boys....
Nor, apparently these two young gents.
 
This is the oath of a Knight of King Arthur's Round Table and should be for all of us to take to heart. I will develop my life for the greater good. I will place character above riches, and concern for others above personal wealth, I will never boast, but cherish humility instead, I will speak the truth at all times, and forever keep my word, I will defend those who cannot defend themselves, I will honor and respect women, and refute sexism in all its guises, I will uphold justice by being fair to all, I will be faithful in love and loyal in friendship, I will abhor scandals and gossip-neither partake nor delight in them, I will be generous to the poor and to those who need help, I will forgive when asked, that my own mistakes will be forgiven, I will live my life with courtesy and honor from this day forward.
