**FOLKLORE FRIDAY**

As we all know it costs nothing to be kind or nice to a stranger who perhaps isn't doing so well. Our tale this week is all about meanness, money and a heartless attitude which led to the hoot of a solitary owl.

A long, long time ago in one of Herefordshire's market towns, we think it was Leominster, there lived a baker and his daughter Sarah. He was a great baker but he was also despised by his community. Why you might ask? Well he was mean, he cheated his customers and hoarded every penny he made.

Each night his greatest pleasure was to sit and count his money. He loved sorting the silver, gold and copper coins into separate bags. He dreamt of turning all the copper coins into silver ones and all the silver coins into gold ones. The baker lived alone except for his daughter Sarah. His wife had died some time ago and he had raised Sarah in his own image, for she too was mean and a little spiteful with it.

One day Sarah was in the bakery on her own. She watched as a dishevelled stranger entered the shop. Under a pile of ragged clothes was an old woman, she walked very slowly supported by her stick up to the counter. Sarah politely asked the woman what she wanted. Despite the woman's appearance, Sarah had been taught by her father not to judge. "They may look poor daughter", he said "but underneath the clothes they might be rich and ripe to be overcharged".

To her surprise the woman begged her for a piece of dough. "I'm starving", said the woman "and I have no money to eat". Sarah refused and tried to remove the woman from her shop. The woman resisted and noisily protested. Frightened by the commotion that the woman was making, Sarah grabbed some dough and slapped it into the hands of the woman.

Thinking that the woman would now leave, Sarah turned to go back to the counter. Then a voice said, "I have no stove or hearth at home, let me bake my bread in your oven". Sarah refused at first but realising that the woman would not leave, she snatched the dough back and put it in the oven.

The old woman sat waiting for her bread to bake. After a short while Sarah opened the oven expecting to find a measly loaf inside. But to her utter shock a beautiful large loaf sat before her. Not wanting to give this to the woman Sarah said,"your loaf is not here, your bit of dough must have fallen to the bottom of the oven". Sarah then took the loaf and put it on her shelf to sell.

The old woman undeterred requested another piece of dough, and the same happened again two or three more times. Even though the pieces of dough that Sarah gave the woman were getting smaller and smaller, bigger and bigger loaves appeared in the oven.

With the last smallest sliver of dough, a massive loaf appeared and the old woman rushed across to the oven to claim it before Sarah could put it out on the shelf. "That's mine!" shouted the old woman. Sarah snarled at her and said, "there's no way that loaf came from the tiny flake of dough I gave you", "get out of my shop you old hag and do not return, you shall never have this loaf".

The old woman looked on as Sarah continued shouting at her. In a flash she raised her stick and lightly touched Sarah's arm. Instantly Sarah was transformed into an owl. The owl proceeded to flap around the bakery and then disappeared out of the open door and was not seen again.

The baker never knew what had become of his daughter Sarah. He continued his ritual of counting his money every night, listening to the distant hoot of a solitary owl.

There's a moral to this story, it could be don't mess with old women, or it could be that we just need to be a little kinder to each other.

Happy weekend everyone.

**FOLKLORE FRIDAY**

It's well known in the realms of folklore that not everything is what it may seem to be. Spectres, ghosts, animals and even people have the ability to transform into some of the most unlikely characters. But that's the fun of folklore, the telling of stories, the embellishments and additions that add vibrancy to a tale.

This week takes us to the east of the county, somewhere near the Malvern, for there was a convent located here. The nuns were fairly self contained, they didn't have many visitors so when one did turn up it was quite an exciting prospect. To hear news from the outside world, from the viewpoint of a traveller was always a treat especially if it involved news of the noble families and great houses that were dotted across the realm.

So one day when a weary, dusty and well travelled man approached their doors the nuns welcomed him inside with warmth and happiness. While they afforded their guest the opportunity to rest and clean up they excitedly prepared supper and wondered what news he would impart to them. It hadn't gone unnoticed too that their guest was quite a handsome man once all of the dust and dirt had been wiped away. So when they entered the great refectory for supper, they could not resist the temptation to shoot him a glance, all very discreetly of course. Their guest smiled inwardly as he noticed their behaviour, he had see this reaction before. He was secretly pleased that he hadn't lost his touch and looked forward to conversing with the nuns and finding out more about their order. Convents were one of his favourite places to stay. Why, you may wonder, well we'll get to that a bit later on.

Once all of the nuns were seated Mother Superior then swept through the refectory heading to the top table as she did every night. She was completely dignified, did not sneak a peek at the visitor as the others had but signalled to him to take the place next to her.

She then stood up to say grace before the food was brought in and as she did so a roll of thunder clapped so loudly that it felt as if it was right above the convent and would break through the walls at any moment. Undeterred she continued her address and did not falter and concluded with a loud "Amen", which was copied by all of the nuns present but interestingly she had noticed not by the visitor.

Relaxed and eager to hear of the traveller's news the conversation was easy and comfortable for everyone, the food and wine was consumed with happiness and contentment and without warning the traveller delved into one of his bags and pulled out a musical instrument which he then began to play. The music was as sweet as the wine that they had been drinking, mesmerising and beautiful, he sang a song of unrequited love. Within moments the nuns seemed to fall under his spell, tears filled their eyes and even the Mother Superior succumbed to the moment. As the traveller finished his ballad, the nuns rose silently and left the room, all melancholy in appearance. All were mourning the love they had turned their backs on when entering the order, most then left the convent to seek the love that they had so sadly missed and was currently lacking in their lives.

Only the Mother Superior had remained in the refectory with the traveller. As she looked at him she experienced an urge to follow him, so when he got up to leave the convent she immediately rose and followed him to the door. As the traveller heard her steps behind him he smiled and then turned to look at her and as he did so she stretched her arms out towards him. As in all good films the moment they embraced and kissed the storm that had been raging outside hit a crescendo and a thunderbolt shot through the convent killing the Mother Superior on the spot.

All had gone to plan for the traveller, he smiled as he held her lifeless body in his arms. So who was this traveller you may ask, in Herefordshire some call him 'Old Nick' and some just 'The Devil'. With his mission accomplished, he headed out onto the road, onward to his next unsuspecting victim with a wry smile and a spring in his step!

**FOLKLORE FRIDAY**

Everyone loves a happy ending, a story where true love prevails against all the odds. It warms our hearts, brings a tear to our eye and a smile to our faces. Well our tale this week is not just any love story, it's a medieval love story, one filled with knights, crusades and despots.

In the thirteenth century in the manor of Much Cowarne in Herefordshire lived a knight called Grimbald Pauncefote (we do love a good name). He was what every young girl of the time dreamed of. He was brave, dashing, could leap upon his horse in full armour and was always the last man standing in any skirmish. He attracted many wealthy admirers but a beautiful childhood friend had captured his heart. Constantia the daughter of John Lingen was stunningly beautiful, with long blonde hair down to her waist, beautiful blue eyes and a smile that would melt the hardest of hearts. To her he had given a fine gold ring embossed with his insignia as a token of his love and devotion, which she wore with pride.

As time passed they married, life was good but Grimbald was a knight and had a desire to go and prove himself in the crusades. So he decided to leave his treasured wife and seek honour in battle. As he left that day, he turned back for one last glance of his wife. His heart ached at leaving her but his desire for glory pushed him on.

The crusade however did not go well, the Turks were well prepared and killed many of Grimbald's fellow knights. Before long Grimbald was captured by the Sultan of Tunis and brought before the despot. Grimbald's bravery knew no bounds as he spoke with the Sultan, explaining that it was customary to offer any riches that he had in return for his freedom. But the Sultan just laughed in his face. For the Sultan was surrounded by jewels and gold, lands in a far off country were of no interest to him. Grimbald feared for his life, knowing that he had nothing left to offer.

After a lengthy silence the Sultan spoke. He told Grimbald that he needed a eu**ch for his harem. Complimenting his physique he continued that the knight would be perfect for the role. Grimbald's heart sunk lower than it had ever been and he fell to his knees pleading with the Sultan to allow him to return home to his wife. Pondering his pleas for mercy the Sultan replied that he would consider it upon one condition. Grimbald was to send a message to his wife and if within a year and a day she returned a token of love that proved that she loved him above all men then the Sultan confirmed he would let Grimbald go. So a message was sent to Lady Constantia.

Back in Herefordshire Lady Constantia spied a weary traveller approaching in the distance. Curious to see who it was she rushed out to greet him. Intrigued by the letter he delivered to her, she hurriedly returned to her chambers to read it. All night she pondered about what she could send as her token of love, what would persuade the Sultan to send her husband home? Then suddenly it dawned on her.

A year and a day after the Sultan had imprisoned Grimbald the weary traveller arrived back carrying a small oak casket. Passing it to the Sultan he advised that the casket had been sent from Lady Constantia. The Sultan sent for Grimbald and asked him to open the box, he was intrigued to see what she had sent. As Grimbald lifted the lid he gasped in horror and let out a wrenching cry, sobbing in a pool of despair. The Sultan took a look for himself, what token of love could have provoked such a reaction? Inside the casket was a small delicate woman's hand, although mummified it was still beautiful and on one of the fingers he saw a gold ring embossed with Grimbald's insignia. A note was also enclosed saying, 'This have I done for the love of my lord'.

After careful contemplation the Sultan turned to Grimbald and said, 'Go free, this truly is the ultimate token of love. Take with you as much silk, coins and jewels as you can carry. But you must promise me one thing. Once you return home, you must never leave your lady's side, for a woman with this much love for you deserves your utmost respect.'

Many months later a weary, aged and white-haired Grimbald made his way home to Much Cowarne and was enthusiastically greeted by his servants who were pleased to see him, although they were shocked by his appearance. At the back of the group stood Lady Constantia and Grimbald made a bee line for her. But before he could take her in his arms she said, 'Please don't come any closer, I am ashamed for you to see me like this'. But Grimbald took no heed and lifted her into his arms saying, 'My Lady, you are more beautiful today than ever. Today I return to you a shadow of the man I once was. I was a fool but I have gained wisdom and a deeper love for you and I will never leave your side again.'

True to his word Grimbald never left Lady Constantia again, death was the only thing to part them. It is said that they lie side by side in Much Cowarne church.

We leave you now with a tear in our eye and a warmth in our hearts that love truly is a powerful thing and not something to be taken for granted.

In the words of Huey Lewis:
"Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' 'til you feel the power of love"
