Introduction

I am Hlǣfdīġe Sunnifa Heinreksdottir. At some point, I hope to add something here... >.<

Persona

6th century Anglian living in Deira (north of the Humber). Migrated with my people ~525AD from Angeln (now Schleswig-Holstein) as the waters rose and flooded our farms. I seem to spend most of my time caring for our sheep; when not chasing them up and down the fells I make baskets, rush mats, and other useful things from the plants I find. When I can, I spin, dye, and take my place in the weaving house- helping to create cloth for our settlement and clothing for our people.
