The Vikings are coming!

Well actually, they're already here as we
discovered when we went to Chiltern Open Air Museum this weekend.

Yeah, it's a Viking alright.
Another one we can cross off in our I-Spy book of re-enactors ...

We found folk re-enacting the Dark Ages in Arborfield Barn.

They were very good: it was certainly very dark.

Nom nom nom
And here's someone re-enacting breakfast.

And this is us re-enacting the Wet Ages.

We hear that liberal helpings of roast turkey has a very therapeutic effect ... 

When we got home, the Madwoman was baffled to find 

that Archie had somehow acquired a cut above his right eye.

She says we have whiskers like piano wires but skin like rice paper.
