--- Quote ---It really all started for me when I was about 4 or 5 and my mom introduced me to the Hobbit cartoon and the Robin Hood cartoon where Robin Hood is played by a fox! I got hooked, started watching the cartoons weekly. I still remember sitting there watching the Hobbit over and over eating nutter butters and drinking cranberry juice (an awesome combination by the way which I will have now 25 years later just for that nostalgic feeling).

OMG Now I really feel old! I remember going to see Disney's Robin Hood when it was first released in theaters! I also watched 'The Hobbit' on its Television debut. The sequel Lord of the Rings was pretty cool when they combined it with some live action! That was pretty high tech back in those days. ;)
Sir Gerard de Rodes:
Captain Nicholas Horton and I recently took part in three one day education sessions at Caerphilly Castle, for World Book Day.
We had somewhere in the region of 600 kids ( 7 to 11 year olds) attend throughout the three days.
We tried to talk about all things knightly, ie, chivalry, medieval warfare, weapons, armour, castle life etc etc.
One thing that the little "gentlemen" were none to pleased about was that we made the young ladies sit down at the front, but they had to stand. lmao ;)
Here`s a snippet in the local news;

Sounds like a great time, Sir Gerard. Unfortunately the video doesn't seem to be viewable on this side of the pond, only within the UK. :(
