Well yesterday was eventful. After saying our farewells to a friend at a green burial site on the North Yorkshire moors we travelled 30 miles to The Downe Arms Hotel in Wykeham for the wake and then to Snainton Woodworking supplies

Apparently it wasn't the first time they have had re-enactors in there, so they weren't shocked.

I've got to say their wood store is superb. I spent £35 in there and could have so easily spent more, lots more :whistling:
In fact I did spend more cos Sue spent £27.50 in there on wood she wants me to make things from :rolling:

Jean? Nope blue linen trousers :face:
Have you tried navigating 160 horses up a road in authentic shoes with no grip? Your feet keep slipping of the speed control :wink:

Didnt know vikings paid for things, thought it was good old rapine and pillage, and you took as much as you could squeeze into your mode of transport.

You all so picked up a couple lusty buxom wenches to keep you warm on the journey home.

The blue cloth pants are original 501 A.D

The footwear is Vike Air

And alledgedly according to Snainton Parish Council

"the name of Snainton comes from the time of the Viking invasions and is believed to originate from a farmstead associated with a man called Snoc."

Maybe the other person in the image is Snoc!
