Mad Dogs

Mad Dogs was this weekend and it was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who made it so!

The morning was much cooler than I had anticipated so I wore my new viking dress instead of the peplos. It looked really nice with the new jewelry Caillie gave me. Thanks Caillie!!!

We left home about 8 and got to site around 9. Most people were just getting up when we got there. After the squires got the royal presence set up we all just visited until the fencers decided it was time to start fencing.

The sun came out just in time for everyone to start fighting and it became hot very quickly. Luckily Medb had made a bunch of neck coolers. You wouldn't think that a little cooling band around your neck would help lessen the heat but it really works!

In the afternoon, Meagan dyed some cloth for me in the indigo dye. The cloth turned out like a blue sky with wispy clouds. Now I have to decided what I am going to make with it. The rest of the afternoon was spent enjoying Lynnette's cookies and visiting.

Around three we had a battlefield court for our Fighters getting awards and then not long after that we held the rest of court.

This was our first regency court and most of the retainers were court newbies like us but we didn't have too many problems and it was fun giving out awards to people we know. I think most people who got awards were quite surprised.

In the evening we had feast and it was. There was a ton of food. It just kept coming and it was all so tasty. After that we sat around and visited until we decided to head home.
In all and all a fun little event. Next up a big huge event, WW.
