HANDCRAFTED HISTORY

Photos from Visby

This years Medieval Week at Gotland was the coldest I’ve experienced so far. I brought all my thin woolen dresses, summer clothing and the like. As a last minute-safety option I also took my green dress as it’s a little bit warmer. Lucky thought that, because I really needed all my layers of clothes along with the hoods and my short cloak/cape.

But it was a good week anyway, apart from me beeing cold, tired and sick most of the week. Because of this, and because I was working most of the week I barely have any photos at all. But some are just too good not to show so here they are…

A windy day on the beach, a little cold for swimming but nice for wearing wool.

Did some medieval braids on my (mothers) cousin Eas hair while listening to music at a picnic inside an old ruin.

M and H as vikings in the gardens. We had plans during the week to go here, there or somewere else, but we often ended up just hanging around and talking to friends and long-time-no-see-people. That’s medieval week for you, just a mix with lots of coffe and some medieval drinks…

Hanging out at Kapitelhusgården medieval style, I’m so glad I had time for a couple of medieval pubs this year.

On the ferry home, I finally got some time to read and H took a nap.
