Yesterday I traveled with Julie and Dave to Tewkesbury Medieval fair & battle and got sun burnt (silly me), I think I was expecting clouds and rain since that's all I've seen for the past couple of weeks.
The fair itself is quite a big market for all things medieval especially costume, swords and other kit, it also spans outside the medieval period and includes plenty of jewellery and other tat, I purchased jewellery, fabric for costume and a few crystals, but I resisted the a nice chess sets, another hat I have no reason to buy another frock coat I don't need.
The battle was.....well I didn't see it, but apart from last year and a couple years in the early 90's I've taken part in it every year since 1985 so its not something new, although I've never been a spectator.
All in it was a long day, getting up a 6.30 to get to Coventry, being on you feet all day when you normally spend your days sitting, and then by the time I'd had a cup of tea on the way home at Julie's it was quarter to eleven so did not get home till twelve.
I also got to see Missy the phantom cat and admire Dave's Inversions.

The weather really did improve didn't it? Sadly, the forecast doesn't look good for this week but who knows, perhaps they got it wrong?
ReplyDeleteAs you say, a long day and I really did appreciate not having to drive. :)
