- The season is underway and we started with our annual visit
to the Virginia Renfaire. With the economy and gas prices being
what they are, we never made it to the NC Renfaire in Raleigh.
Many faires are struggling this year to break even because people
cannot afford the drive much less the day out with other reveling
folk.
-
- Thankfully the Virginia faire isn't too far from home and
it was nice to get out for the day. Sir Aidan's favorite part
of the day was to sit with the Royal hounds as they were resting
in the
 shade.
He was slightly reluctant to pet them, but as usually he warmed
up to them fairly quickly.
-
- And what would a faire be if he didn't get a new henna tattoo.
-
- He did a fairly good job chatting up the young maiden who
decorated his arm. He even asked for her name. Something he hasn't
done too much in the past when he's trying to make time with
the ladies.
-
- Her name is Janet and she was a very kind and marvelous artist.
So he was quite happy with this years tattoo. Though it was small
and simple, it was exactly what he asked for.
-
- We spent the day listening to the pirate bands at the pub.
We walked through the village and found a few trinkets to remember
the day by. I purchased an early birthday present for myself.
A very delicate and pretty Fairy wand. Now if I can just get
it's magik to work on that lottery ticket.
