I am off to Bristol Renaissance Faire for the weekend, leaving tomorrow. I’ve wanted to go to this particular Faire for 20 years, and something has always prevented me from doing so. But now it’s in easy range, up on the Wisconsin/ Illinois border, so my friend K. and I are going. I’d dreaded the summer heat, but the weather is being most cooperative, dropping from 90 and upwards down to the low to mid 70s. It couldn’t be more perfect if it tried.
I have full garb for both of us, as well. Of course, the Faire is set in the 15th century and the garb is for the 11th, but what’s a few centuries between friends? I am looking forward to this more than I can say!
