I am a bit late posting this...
Due to being busy with something new for the stall, it has been hard work, pretty much broken me doing it, (also a nasty thumb stab with a Stanley knife), it would have been a lot harder work without helping hands and support of Heather Simone and Alex Gray I must credit them with much and many thanks.
So,
This Weekend Coming......
I will be at No Man's Land Multi-Period Event in North Wales
This is well worth a trip to see, lots of different periods, living history, battles and more....
So, if you want an exclusive first see of the new things for the stall, I will see you there.....

This weekend coming I will be returning to Glastonbury Abbey for the Medieval Christmas Market.
This 2 day event is one not to miss especially this close to Christmas.
My BLACK CHRISTMAS SALE starts there, with huge discounts on my range of Damascus Steel items and my range of other Axes too.
So I really recommend a visit for those hard to find Christmas Presents from a plethora of traders selling their wares.
Hope to see you there, link below.

Medieval Christmas Market Weekend including Frost Fayre, just one of the events at Glastonbury Abbey

This weekend coming......
I will be returning again to ARM (Artisans Reenactors Market)
In Warwick Exhibition Centre.
A huge array of traders covering far too many periods in history to list here, suffice to say, you won't be disappointed should you come along.
The added bonus is that there is another Reenactors market just 20 minutes up the road so you can spend the day (or weekend) flitting between the 2.
Opens MIDDAY Friday 14th November

Not long to go now for the, dare I say The Best, Medieval Christmas Market you can attend, also, its your last chance to get some fabulous and Unique Christmas presents from a huge range of amazing traders at 2, yes 2 venues and only a 5 minute walk apart.
As usual, I will be doing my BLACK CHRISTMAS SALE where there are HUGE savings to be made on Damascus Steel items before I shut down for winter, so don't miss out, see you there

Soooo,
Back home after a rather wet and windy weekend, had a great time and left with a nice dry canvas that was blow dried a little too well.
A special thanks to The Long Lady for her sterling help in getting my tent up on arrival in stupidly strong wind.
Many thanks to the organisers for putting on the event, for your first go at it, you did amazingly well.

Now a rest and stock making ready for....
Battles Through History 4th-5th October....
This is a great multi period event and well worth the effort to visit.
Hope to see a lot of you there.
