History

Happy Monday
I have spent the day with an 11 year old girl..enough said. No, she is lovely and we had a great day doing lots of crafty stuff! mwah ha ha! i think shimelles class will take a bit of a back seat this week though!

Yesterday my family and I went to a living history day. It was amazing. Loads of battles, plenty of people dressed up in period costume and a real enthusiasm for history in general. It was a great hands on day and I took hundreds of pictures. Just a few here:
Plenty of Vikings!
The guy on the right wanted to buy me so I could become his slave! Lol!
Amazing craftsmanship here!
The littlest one thought the whole day was amazing. I mean whats not to love? Explosions, loud bangs, guns and swords!

Sorry for the short post. I finish nannying on thursday, so hopefully more of a blog post then! thanks for stopping by!

Loves xxxx

Love the first shot off the shields - really cool! I'm reading The Other Boleyn Girl right now, so this is all very on-point for me.
