medieval festival

yesterday we took a train to linlithgow for a medieval festival thingy. 8 pounds for entry into the castle.

the first thing we saw was this guy talking about armor and putting it on piece by piece with the help of his squire

in full armor
me and naz in the great hall with a huge fireplace behind

4 knights going to joust

first they warm up by trying to hit the shield of the wooden man. then they go at each other.

a blue knight

they put a squire in a sack for 'punishment'

and dragged her around the field

the red knights

the blue knights won

we all climbed up the highest tower


but it was so high and windy..
that me and naz chickened out before the last flight of stairs

swordfight!

on the slope behind the castle

they decided to climb a tree. and that's a french guy in the middle. his name is sylvain, pronounced sevaun.

and we just came back in from another fire alarm. some potatoes caught fire in an oven. the whole batch was standing out in the cold again and got a warning that we might get fined if there's another fire in our apartments. the first one was caused by burning butter.
