WELCOME TO FOREST KEEP MANOR<br/><br/>(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd302/kazjack2/Lellinias%20Weyr/lakeside2.jpg)<br/><br/>Forest keep Manor has been in the Ambrose family for many years, handed down from father to son.  The Lords of the House have always been blue blooded gentlemen, served by a waiting staff of loyal servants.  The house stretches over a huge amount of land, with stunning views across the fields, rivers and trees that surround it.<br/><br/>Lord Morgan Ambrose is the latest in the long line of gentry to inherit Forest keep.  He has a beautiful wife, Lady Constance and his two sons, one of which is at present away.  She stands by his side, and kneels before him the willing dutiful servant to her Master.<br/><br/>The snows glisten in the trees around the Manor, the weather cold and chill.  The House is a sight to behold, she sits nestled in the mantle of winter as those inside remain warm with the sensational heating that has caused many angry words.  Houses should not have heating.  But Forest Keep did, it was a place of many secrets.  Many wonders and those invited enjoyed the hospitality of Lord and Lady.<br/><br/>Christmas was fast approaching, a time to be together, family and friends would be welcomed through the season.  They would attend the local church, taking all those who live and work at the Manor.  When they returned carols would be sung around the tree and mulled wine and sweet pastries would be served.  The days leading until the season would be busy, there was lots of work to be done.<br/><br/>Lady Constance would be seen talking to the Butler, her voice soft, gentle, eyes slightly downcast.  She would liaise with Mrs Hemlock about what needed to be done.  Constance took her role as Lady of the Manor very seriously.  The rooms needed to be prepared.  Guests would be arriving, the maids and slave would be needed.  The new slaves hadn't arrived yet, but those who had been with them a while would be expected to help.  Of course they would be rewarded for good behaviour.  And punished for bad.  The house would be busy for the days to come...everyone would be required to work and prepare and then they would all enjoy and play and celebrate together.<br/><br/>Welcome to Forest keep Manor, a place to spend a relaxing and eye opening time...
