Festival 2007

Market day and boffer tourney

I glad to say that I survived the dust, wind and atrocious distance from anything that was our campsite. I came home earlier than expected due to feeling a bit blue/homesick, suffering from swollen ankles from walking over uneven,rocky, dusty roads. Despite the conditions I saw a lot of people I have met before at other events and they remembered me. Market day was enjoyable with lots of little things brought - earrings from Oonagh, hat, snoods, cute little bag and a bowl and beaker cup from Alex the potter. I ended up with 3 Salty Bint tavern cups having pretended to be 3 different people - more feastware!
The classes I attended were fantastic and now I have an urge to make period shoes and mittens and maybe learn the drop spindle. The food from Crispin's kitchen was exceptional and filling/hearty fare. I volunteered for the troll booth one afternoon which was a nice way to spend Saturday afternoon...quiet.

This is the view from the troll booth.
