Leoba of Lecalade manages the estate of Lecelade in 11th Century England, which means she has to know a lot about sewing, gardens, cooking and crafting. Christine Lawrie works as a clinical report writer to pay the bills, but she is also working on her History Honours thesis (on the history of puddings) and also spends a great deal of time recreating historical food as part of her involvement in the SCA. She sews things too.
