Home and sorting through things, starting with photos. The Oxford Rennisance Faire was great fun as always. So much to see, and the people who attend these faires, patrons, actors, musicians, and merchants alike, are amazingly hearty folk. Saturday's weather was beautiful, and the jousting was entertaining beyond usual...I mean, it's always fantastically entertaining but this was the first time I had ever witnessed a lance smashed with such force that it twirled at least 20 feet in the air as if it were part of a Scottish pipe band parade. It didn't land on anyone in the crowd, thank heavens.
Sunday's weather was a challenge. By end of day, we were dealing with muddy "streets" and slippery conditions for pack-up time.
Looking forward to next year!
