A great way to spend the August Bank Holiday Weekend for all medievalists.\u00a0 What’s not to like?\u00a0 Jousting, falcons, music from Perkelt and many other groups including the Pentacle drummers, and puppets, archery of course, jesters, the glorious Flora, spirit of the Spring and too much else to mention.\u00a0 When I can get my pix to transer from my iphone to the laptop I’ll post my favourites from the medieval village and the crafts stalls. Watch this space.\u00a0 It surely can’t be long before 21st century technology gets its act together.\u00a0 There was a coracle as well and I forgot to have a go in\/on the waters of the moat.\u00a0\u00a0 Many friends from past years it was great to meet again\u00a0 Lots of lovely people following Hildegard of Meaux and wanting book 10 Murder at Whitby Abbey in a promised brand new book format.\u00a0 Exciting times ahead and next year to look forward to.\u00a0 Of course there’ll be rain (again) and it wouldn’t be an August festival without it\u00a0 Twelve hours without a pause!\u00a0 The falcons unable to fly because their feathers were wet.\u00a0 The jousting horses couldn’t care less and carried on regardless – good job they don’t have feathers!\u00a0 The tents were full and there’s nothing quite like sitting cosily inside a mead tent drinking real ale, talking about the first use of paper in England (Edward I if you want to know) while the rain drums on the canvas.\u00a0 To next year, then! Thanks for all your help, everybody concerned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
