I have never been searched entering Bristol other than to insure that my sword is peace tied.

Usually they check people dressed in mundanes.  Backpacks, purses, etc.  I have had my basket checked before but most of the time, people in garb are passed by.  As long as the flask isn't gigantic and hanging out, you should be fine.  They scrutinize weapons more to make sure that they are peace-tied.

Good to know!

It is always so helpful to have locals let us know what to expect!

Thanks so much!

I'm going to have to remember to wear a carnation or something; I would love to be able to see others from here strolling around. Of course, it might be easier if I provided a picture...
If you pass a tall, brown (doggy-poop brown ;) )-haired lady and all of a sudden, the thought of whether you returned your library books before you left home pops into your head, you'll know it's me ;) Hello!


On Monday, they posted the entertainment line-up: http://www.renfair.com/bristol/thefaire/entertainment.asp

If you do, I wouldn't have to worry about it ;)

Or would I... Honestly, if you do, feel free. I trust you (yes, I said that).

Alexandra Johanna

But do you trust me? >:-)
Actually, I think we both look lovely here. The Library Lady is on the Right ;-)

Alexandra! I forgot about that one... You look very fine; I like that red shade on you. I always look so unkempt. yeesh.

Alexandra Johanna

Thank you kindly  :) You don't look unkempt at all! You look lovely!

Merlin the Elder

Thank you, Alexandra.... She won't listen to me. You would think we were married or something...

I listen to you all the time, Master Merlin! With great attention, respect, and joy!
Except when you're less right than usual.

Two weeks! And my daughter still hasn't made the new corset for me. She keeps saying I need to decide the style... I think she is getting me back for something from her childhood ;)
