And a lot has happened - but as my listing often refers to the weather I should point out that we are in the longest period of hot weather since 2006 ( seems like a lot longer ) and we are now talking about dangers of extra heat and deaths - rather than deaths through cold... Just lets face it - whichever it may be - death is the result .. But in the meantime ...
So, managed to get to a Curious Pastimes event for the main July session. Did not need to be there early for the set up which was a great bonus, though the decision to set up half way down the field was one that I had refused for the last two events - but they did have the extra set up crew - though I would not have fancied carrying everything up the hill at the end in the heat - fair play to them all.
But the decision to put the Wolves Camp (the Vikings) in the furthest camp from the main site - and the dryness of the ground meant that this was the first opportunity to take Buffy the Bothy into the field - and see if Bertha would work ..
Susie finished sewing the dutch lacing (well except for the last 3 feet) late on Thursday night - a daunting task... so the Friday drive up was with a full Bertha tucked into the bottom of Buffy....
So, getting there early I managed to park into the wrong field but later found the correct one and parked up in the brambles .... And then managed to get the structure of Bertha up and the camper hidden.
A great weekend with singing and a little too much alcohol, say it is not so !!.... and the joy of having various people sitting in the tent - with no idea that there was a large vehicle just behind the tapestries.......

So a good event was had by all...
And back to the homestead - and a few days of excessive heat ..... but am I complaining?? well - actually...
No not really -
