15th August 2017 - Impressum as they say in Germany

Thought for the day :"Some people say I act like I don't care - its not an act"

Another day looms and the sun is shining a little. Sitting here with a number of videos to put together, but they all take time ...

From yesterday we have Klanggespinst - which is good friends Pur Pur and Saitenweise who combine together for concerts - and one of my favourite songs Des Lebens Kreis - the Circle of Life
with its wonderful shorus - "Der Junge, Die Mutter, Der Alte - Der Tod"  The young - the Mother - the Old and the Dead...

Have to think about getting some photos completed as well - 208 still to process though many are of the same people so will cut down considerably I am thinking..
Meanwhile - some photos from other sites that I have enjoyed....

14th August 2017 - Mythodea and Masonry

Thought for the day:"I hate mornings… and Mondays.. and working .. Other than that I am happy"

So... First Gallery up on Flickr.  There is also a fine video - not mine .. but I enjoyed it ..

While Someone caught Vollsanger singing in the Bad Norderby (The Viking Bath House)

Vollsanger Sings Bad Norderby

In other news - it turns out that Sooty was a Freemason

and so was Nookie Bear ...

Seems I am travelling in good company ....

Cheers !

13th August 2017 - Missing Meteors and more Mythodea

Thought for the day :"Apparently Swedish Naval boats have barcodes - so they can Sacndinavian"

Missed the meteor showers last night - thought he sky was completely clear - popped out every s often but nothing to be seen. Oh well - I did not have the camera with me at the time so it is probably just as well.

Long drive back form the south coast again but the dog is fed and I am thinking about going to make some baked beans on toast - a fine evening meal for a Sunday.

Should be looking at some more photographs - but may leave it until tomorrow now. Maybe a double helping of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - need to catch up about 60 episodes so I can finally get to see season 7 and the finale. I have it on DVD somewhere - but that somewhere is of course in the Warehouse in one of several hundred boxes which I also need to sort out ...  but that will be a challenge for the autumn I think.

meanwhile - I found this on line - gives an idea of the size of the battles

and of course the video version...

Cheers!

12th August 2017 - Scenes from the Tross

Thought for the day:"You think you are undervalued ? The Inventor of Camouflage has never been recognised"

So, a bright Saturday morning in Barton on Sea. The sun is shining and it is warm. The dog is enjoying the luxury of the lawn and a space to be able to run around - though currently too lazy to move from the armchair that she is not really meant to be sitting in ...

And so as I wait for the house to stir - I thought I might add a few more pictures to the lists from Germany ....

The Barden Heim complete with Volls Wagen

Bertha in the Guild Lager

Sunsets in Mythodea

and someone took a quick sketch..

the Tross - looking out from the Grand Expedition Stall

Bad Norderby Crew and players

Some people from all over - A Korean Bard

Not see this before - a Dutch Oven - you cook between the ovens

coals underneath and coals over the top - pancakes between 

the tross at night

Sir Gareth with Vollsanger

So ... good memories - just need to put them into an album now...

Cheers

11th August 2017 - Reasons to LARP

Thought for the day :"Just found out that the word gullible is not in the English dictionary. "

Another day down on the South Coast so not much time for any real blog matters
So though I may share one or two people I met in Mythodea..

I never really understood why I enjoy Mythodea so much...

But of course - as it is my 44th Wedding Anniversary today - um -what can I say

Cheers!
