This weekend The Company of Chivalry are disappearing off to Kidwelly Castle. We are all bouncy this morning, swapping talk on Facebook, eager to see each other again and to time travel to the 14C....some have sent their apologies, and I won't see Nick, Marshall, Hannah, John, Georgi (either of them) or my medieval 'husband' Brambles this weekend. But we will all collide at some point in the season :-)This is the first time we are using the new tent in anger - she so pretty!
and we are really looking forward to having a smaller tent which us ladies can put up without the help of the men.The first event of the season is always a step into the unknown for me as I go around the house collecting all my medieval stuff I have stuffed here there and everywhere, and I always end up with LOADS in the car I won't use but pack just in case.
I have been making rosaries this week and have lots to sell, with loads more beads to make more as they go...trying out some brightly coloured wood beads this season, to supplement the plain wood and to attract the magpie in those members of the public!
The coin dies are packed and we are ready to explain the 14 century life to keen and eager (and hot!) holidaymakers...

I've often thought it might be interesting to spend a weekend in a castle, but since castles are in short supply on this side of the pond, I'll have to do my castle-living through your adventures. Be safe, have fun, and we'll look forward to seeing you back in the 21st century!
