Winter Camp
For those who wondered what I got up to over the June long weekend - and be honest, you did wonder, didn't you? - I was in the Blue Mountains near Black Springs for the annual 17th century Winter Camp. A true test of one's winter clothing! It was several degrees below zero on Friday and Saturday nights, though Sunday was a little less cold. No snow, alas. We marched around with pikes, did some archery and musketry, ate a lot of good food.... oh, and drank plenty of ale and mead and vodka.
It being so cold, I'm glad I made a new woollen overcoat (called a delia) for my Polish kit, as did Andy Brew; the fox fur collar was nice and cosy.
