The situation continues...

The desperate situation on the moat of Baddsley Clinton continues.
Baer, leader of the group, talks to the youth in an attempt bolster the mood...

"Look, I know you all want to be Hillary's special art envoys, but these things don't happen over night", Baer explains.
"You all look great, and I appreciate your enthusiasm. Just hang in there a little longer!" 

Meanwhile, it seems everyone on the moat has a mad craving for raspberry pie, and there is no where close by to get it. 
Hillary has been notifies of this hunger crisis  and is scheduled to visit on Saturday.
In the meantime, if anyone has access to a homemade raspberry pie, please deliver it to the moat, or to our U.S. drop-off point of 120 Brewery Gulch, Bisbee, AZ.

The Story of The Woodland Pantsuit People

( Definitely click this one!)
Among other stories, it seems that three sisters who were devout Catholics, lived here in the 1590's. As Catholicism was illegal in England at the time,The Vaux sisters held secret masses at Baddesley Clinton. They had three priest holes built on the premises, in which they hid the priests from certain death if they were discovered.
These priest holes can still be visited today.
But long before the Vaux sisters or the Clinton's came along, The Woodland Pantsuit People lived their simple existence here in the Forest of Arden.
"The Woodlanders", as they are most commonly called, invented the pocket due the simple need of a holding place for Arden's famous raspberries. 
These forest pantsuit dwellers are also responsible for the pantsuit hood, which has long since gone out of fashion.


Ghostly sightings of these Woodland Pantsuit people are still reported by the locals of the Forest of Arden today.
