mid-evil





well i was stalling ill admit, waiting for photos of my last venture. I last went out for a medieval feast. It was tasty food, fun and archery. I didn't partake the archery myself. I was to busy being attacked by small children. >< DARN THEM. But none the less. i had fun. It was the highland games. So there were silly games. Caber tossing and the like. All sorts of stuff done with Giant cardboard tubes, long socks weighted with oats. Didn't win anything but i got a fair few second places. In a side note, I did win the competition for turning up in the most authentic costume. Had a roll of material and i managed to make a great kilt with the help of my family [ its a three person job]. Lets see, got the ratan for making weapons and such, Gonna make a halberd i think, Nice, stabbing and hacking thing. Thats christophers update for now, so its nice.
