We had an excellent time! I made a profit selling plants, seeds, and homemade lavender fudge (I grow the culinary lavender, the plants, mostly things that once were used for dye, food, medicine and magic, and the cottage garden plants from which I harvest the seeds). We caught up to old friends, made new ones, and heard all the news. One of the old friends was an old botany student of mine from nearly forty years ago, who had not known I did reenactment. A nice reunion! Plus I got to sing and tell folktales. Liz also had a good day singing (she is part of the Umbrella a Capella choir).
Yastreb tried his hand at storytelling, (he has the makings of a fine storyteller) and fun was had all round. With any luck, we may do it again next year. No videos, but Yastreb took some photos. I will ask him to post some. Because we were outdoors, we have hopefully avoided Covid. It was rainy, but most of what fell on us was melting ice from the trees. There were unusual groups like a Roman Legion and the Ukrainian dancers.
Star was okay while we were away, which is a relief. He misses going to the Fairs.
And Buteo, back in my travelling days I went to a number of American events. I enjoyed one of the early Pennsic Wars.
