The Madwoman has had a bit of a busy and stressful week so we prescribed a weekend away from writing and computers and took her out for a gentle and relaxing stroll at Chiltern Open Air Museum. Well, that's where we go most weekends, and it's usually quite relaxing.
When we arrived we found a whole Viking encampment had set up.
Some of them were either having a Saturday morning lie in or were
perhaps prostrated by hangovers ...
We steered the Madwoman towards a promising looking campfire ...
... and then towards another one ...
... and yet another.
Nearly everyone seemed to have an impressive cooking range but not a single sossidge to be seen, never mind sucking pig. Always seems to be a real shortage of sucking pig at these events.
A couple of Vikings were getting ready for a bit of a scrap ...
... while in the meantime a game of Viking skittles - or possibly a forerunner of cricket - was underway. It seemed topical, although we didn't spot any weeping Aussies ...
There was a loom ...
And a Viking with two impressive helmets. But only one head. Maybe one is for weekday wear and the other one for Sunday best ...
Suitably relaxed, we all cluttered off home for some lunch.
No sossidges there either.
Pffft.
