May was a busy month so no time for blogging.
The first BH was spent at Corfe Castle a-Vikinging. The usual great time was had and we'll certainly be going back again if it's on next year.
The Late May BH weekend four of us did the 'Viking Road Trip' to the Viking festival at Jork near Hamburg. A fantastic time was had by us all. Much beer was consumed and I got to meet some old friends. The organisers gave us a proper 'fort' to fight over and I did something I've never done before in almost 30 years of re-enactment ...
I have played around with singl;e spear for many years and am reckoned to be a dab hand, but most UK folk now know me and the sad tired fat old man act doesn't work so well any more. In Germany however, I'm not so well known. To say I strode across the battlefield would be a bit over doing it, but I was last man standing from a 60 warrior 'circle' in which no-one has any allies. I was a happy bunny for many hours.
All this re-enacting meant that I didn't do anything serious in teh way of painting, but the next few weeks should see that change.
