■ @elianasiegal of the place and they werein the woods filming a campfire~ type scene. so it surprised me.
■ @elianasiegal i knew they'd probably be there at some point because they use the medieval village, but i was just walking around the rest
■ [asked if she met the actors] @misplacedshadow hah no I'm not the brave. I said hi to them as they walked past and they said hi back but that's all~
■ Asjalksdhj colin's laugh . I can't.
■ BRADLEY JUST NEARLY HIT HIMSELF IN THE FACE WITH HIS OWN SWORD. Must not laugh.
■ @Yestiin lol ok. As far as I can see it's just arthur and merlin scenes though.
■ not sure how I feel about the fact that when I texted my sister "I'm like 20ft away from colin morgan omg" her response was "DON'T LICK HIM"
■ @misplacedshadow MERLIN. COSMESTON. NOW. Shfjaldsjhdkal
leviathans_moon also shared what she saw of the Cosmeston filming at her journal, with notes of Bradley and Colin's interactions. In the comments of her post she also added that she saw them filming at the side of the village on a meadow not near the lake, and clarified that only Arthur had a sword and they were in their regular costumes.

Pierrefonds filming schedule
Production manager Sébastien Quérité updated his blog with a corroboration of earlier fan information about the filming schedule in Pierrefonds: [translated from French] "This year the English production returns with the fifth season of Merlin but for only two periods of shooting in France instead of three. The first period is in June and the start of this year is particularly quiet in offers for alternative or complementary work."
