Title: this weekend
Post by: rengypsy on February 16, 2012, 08:19:35 AM
have faith. we are at the whims of the weather, but that is one of the joys of faire, aye? we are a sandy forest with a sloping terrain...so even in the worst of rains, we do fine.  don yourself with water repellant garb, grab a mundane friend and find your way to our magical forest this weekend.

sunday is suppose to be great weather.  saturday will be us thanking the heavens for the rain our forest and woodland beasts need.

be of good cheer.

in medieval england, as is the case today, the rains did not dampen the spirit of the festive.

If the rain stops early Saturday like they are predicting, the rest of the weekend should be glorious.

 No matter what the weather- Sherwood will be fun! I am working on spells and potions to get the rain out of there fast!

Is Sunday still looking good?  Clear skies?  Winds mild?  Temperature in the 60s?

Some family wants to make it Sunday and wondering.

I find the cooler weather and all makes for more like the time we are trying to create.  Afterall England is a North Atlantic Country.  It just brings it all together I think.

Very true.  I have never had a problem at faire in the rain.  I just have to remember to not wear the chain mail to keep from rusting away.  I would be stuck like the Tin-man in Oz.  lol

I always like the rainy days, keeps the dirt dust down and the tourists away.

It is enjoyable, just remember tourists are good for the faire!
