Welcome to my Thoughts on a Thursday........I was really looking forward to going to Caldicot Castle.
I splashed out a little; bought myself an eating knife, bowl and cup and a cloak and a belt.
I got sick - I mean, really sick. Threw up all Saturday night and started again Sunday morning. Then again on Monday. I walked to the toilet block at 3am Saturday night and managed to puke three times on the way and twice on the way back - and the toilets were only a couple of hundred yards away!
Three days later I am just starting to get back to normal.
Not Vintners food, honest. Not the booze (just a couple of cans of cider!). I put it down to a bug as it's been hanging around for a bit now.
Caldicot was disappointing because it was a 'plastic camp' - not 'Living History' specifically. Lots of pretend re-enactors and lots of hangers-on.
And I was too poorly on Sunday to put my kit on.....
I have just received my application pack from the Company of Chivalry - or as MB called it my 'Wenching Pack'!
But...............Am I going to join??

I hope you are feeling better.
Something similar happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I am normally quite robust with food etc but was rather ick for an evening after something managed to disagree with me. I hate to admit I had also been drinking some bubbly stuff so I didnt really get much sympathy.
And joining the Company. You already have a Palace, a few more knights to brighten the place wouldn't go amiss?

I really am very sorry to hear about how you feel. Hope you're feeling better now. Might need some great big rest.
Of course your going to join :o)
You haven't met the bards yet...
Glad you're feeling better, you did look wretched on Sunday morning
You've spent the money now - it would be silly not to join:-)
Most events are living history - Berkeley is the only other one that isn't, and even then we're on medieval island so have to be authentic. Plastic camping is just plain wierd!
LMB is sick now. I blame you;-)
yes you are going to join! well I hope you will.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
(My word Verification = lazyw!!)
Of course you'll join :-) you haev your bowl adn stuff and despite last time I know that you will enjoy it! Take the plunge!
You will, you know you will,hope you are over the dreaded lurgy by now :)
