We have to get that Rick through the door first Ray. Did you know he stands about 6 feet 2 inches and has shoulders to block the sunlight!

There's an issue we haven't addressed yet.  Those centuries-old buildings are certainly charming and picturesque, but definitely built for people of a lower physical stature.  At 5' 9" tall, I can tell you I've bumped my head on more than one lintel!

When I think of English pubs, I don't think of tablecloths at all.  I envision scrubbed pine tables with perhaps a nice rubbing of beeswax.

I have a couple of Renaissance costumes I could bring to the mix.  That's kind of close to Tudor, isn't it Rick the Barman (who could double as his own bouncer given that he's been working out at the gym)?

 Who would like to play the role of highwayman?

I agree with your ideas Barbara...on all fronts! Laughing
