Lady Medb the Spinner

Another of the best kind of Ladies for which Caid is known: who can be a Lady and never be a doormat. Sparky, sassy and good-humoured. One of the early "fiber enablers" in Caid.

Canton meetings were at her house, even after her illness prevented her from participating in events very much.
