Those first warm days after the chill of winter really are wonderful! Nothing better than being able to go outside without a heavy coat!

The Four Seasons
What’s your favorite season, and what are some of the special things that you love about it? As March is here, and bringing with it the first change in season of the year, the Wenches decided to use this month’s Ask-A-Wench feature to wax poetic on the above question: Anne: In the Southern ...
So glad you enjoyed it, Teresa. Yes, I think all of us who live close to where we grew up notice that the climate has changed since we were children.

Yes—all those things. I know it's not environmentally correct, but I do love the scent of wood smoke!

I'm not one for summer heat, either—especially humid heat! Still. I like four seasons, too!

Sue, winter can definitely make one stir-crazy. And you've a rough one this year. Here it's been mild, but still, I love to be outdoors without having to get totally bundled up.

There's something very special about autumn light—it really does have a crisp clarity.
Summer does tend to be too hot and humid, at where I live it does.

Andrea here, musing today about swordsmen . . . or rather, three swordsmen in particular. As usual, this happened in a very serendipitous way: I was just checking a quick fact for my WIP. I swear, I only meant to spend a moment or two confirming the exact location of a famous Regency fencin...
I don't write medievals, ha, ha, ha!
Seriously, I love how I learn from our Wench readers! Thanks so much—another fy un nugget of information to rattle around in my brainbox.

Happy to have sent others down sliding down rabbit holes! I've never seen The Duellists, but must watch it.
You're right—so many cultures have rich traditions and rituals with swords.And yes, the Olympics is wonderful to watch. The speed and grace is really beautiful.

Glad you enjoyed them. Having an art background, I have fun researching images!

Thanks—so glad you enjoyed the post, Michelle. I love the Leslie Howard version of The Scarlet Pimpernel, but haven't checked out Anthony Andrews. Will do so!
And thanks for the book recommendation. Sounds really wonderful!

Oh, nerd way! I hadn't thought about the spiral staircase and how it would favor one of the swordsmen, but of course that makes perfect sense! (Isn't it fun being a nerd!)

So glad you enjoyed the post, Vicki. I knew that "Angelo" was real, but didn't realize faamily's fencing traditions, or that they were so involved in training the British military!

Ha, ha, ha, Annette! It's a VERY long series. I think I would surrender after the 10th move!

Glad you enjoyed the post, Jeanne. And thanks for the heads-up on those new-to-me authors!

Oh, Sue, I'm not THAT old either, but I now remember that Fairbanks Sr. film! I saw it a while back as part of a documentary, I think, on silent films and you're right—he was fabulous!
Really interesting comment about the acting. Yes, to communicate without words required a real skill.

So glad you enjoyed it! History is even stranger than fiction! Or rather, it only enhances fiction!

Thanks, Mary. I've never seen that clip, but MUST look for it. Gene Kelly is SO athletic and graceful—he must be absolutely fabulous as a swordsman! (Fluttery sigh.)

Oh, yes—I forgot about that one—it's a great swashbuckling scene, Lillian. I didn't realize Rathbone was a skilled fencer. Another fun bit of history to know!

I loved the Elewes's bio! Reading about the movie was such great fun. And those two as dashing swordsmen are, to my mind, iconic!
