You know you’re in for a special treat when you get shivers down your spine upon hearing the faint music of a fair from across the river. It was an absolute pleasure to be handed a brochure at Supanova to this year’s Winterfest Medieval Fair, and by this brave knight, no less:
How could anyone say no? And so, this morning, I went to the fair. Parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and the whole shebang.
I LOVED studying the Medieval and Renaissance periods. When I did Medieval History for Year 9, I was lucky enough to participate in my school’s first (and, to my knowledge, last) Medieval Fair. I was the High Commissioner, see. I played the part of a villain who passed judgement on women deemed to be practicing witchcraft. But that was the last time I’ve been to a Medieval Fair…
Until now, that is.
Aren’t these guys just the coolest? I wish I had a costume appropriate for Medieval Fairs, but alas! Alas!
PS: Bonus pic because I think these knights were simply the best for lending me their sword:
Oh, and that sword’s heavier than it looks. No kidding bro, I think that sword was legit.

Gorgeousness!!! I would love to go to one of those!
"here be eftpos" hehe
I love medieval stuff.
You look like you are tapping into your inner sword-wielding heroinne there! And i bet that WAS a proper sword. There are peeps who make them the old fashioned way, and some real enthusiasts who buy them, and i bet those knights are such folk!
T'was surely a merry day thou hast enjoyed, m'lady!
