Overall, the harvest is meagre. The weather did not cooperate this year, and nothing performs very well. However, when going over the reports, you can clearly see your wife made the very best out of a bad situation. Winterborne Stoke make ?6.75 this year, less expenses of ?4. That puts your treasury at ?10.25
Construction of the manor is completed by winter. The apiary, dovecote and fish pond are all producing, despite the poor weather, and construction of the orchards has been completed. Now you only need wait for the trees to mature and produce fruit.
Fall also brings some bad news. During the summer campaign, one of Sir Cedwyn's uncles was lost during a battle. His body was not recovered, so it is hoped he is a prisoner. No ransom has been made yet, but such things may take time. as the head of the family, Sir Cedwyn would be responsible for any ransom.
Early winter is a particularly joyous time, as Sir Cedwyn welcomes a beautiful baby girl into the world. [Naming her is your right, though you may defer to your wife.] The manor is thrown into an uproar for a day or two, but the Mistress quickly calms things down and continues to manage the affairs of the manor despite her delicate condition.
[Congrats!]
