People ask me “What are you all going to do when it's finished?” and my standard reply is that it will never be finished. We have plans to develop the site with a smaller version of the hall, a stone built chapel, extensive workshops, stables etc - and all in the pursuit of the re-enactors ideal. There is a dream that all re-enactors have. That somewhere there is a special place for them: a place where they can get up in the morning and look out of the door of a real house at an undisturbed and idealised landscape.
There will be times when the axe handle is so cold with frost that it is difficult to chop the wood; times when the fire won't draw; times when the porridge sets; times when the children sniffle and miss the telly. But when the thunder crashes around the sky and the wolves howl at the lightning, it comes to you just why our ancestors were pagans. Then, as the sun westers, we can close the great gate that cuts us off from the modern world, throw another log on the fire and settle down amidst the gathering gloom in the great hall that we have built with our own hands and say to each other - "It must have been just like this."
