The Medieval Fair is over again for another year, and a good time was had by all.

Mostly.

It was a little odd filling time slots half the length we are used to, 30 minutes gives us just enough time to warm up usually, but it came off ok nonetheless.

Back to training now, hopefully I'll be a bit fitter and faster by this time next year, though my body type precludes true speed. Big muscles aren't particularly useful in re-enactment combat, it just makes pulling your blows more difficult.

But I love it! Win or lose, there is NOTHING in this world as satisfying as fighting in front of a crowd, and that includes performing on stage, being in films, and winning awards. Fighting trumps them all.
