Introduction

My name is Aldís Aghenardottir. I am 24 years old, and a free woman near Ribe, Denmark. My husband (Auðin) and I are farmers with a moderate amount of land. We have a field of cows and sheep, as well as some horses. We mostly grow grains, a few root vegetables, and of course some hay for the animals. I spend most of my time preserving food, making or mending clothes, and teaching our son, Ávarr. Auðin is also a craftsman, making leather goods to trade and sell in Ribe. He went to Ribe for a few days to sell some of his leather work, so I took over some more duties of the farm while he's gone. Ávarr is learning to fish, and is getting very skilled at it.
