@valentinojess … good to see you back
@Rox … hi Shield Maiden … I’d love to see photos. You’ve posted about this before and it sounds great fun.
Yes I’ll post a few, wasn’t well enough the last couple of years to go thanks to one thing or another, so I’m looking forward to it this time.
I bet you are and you deserve to have a good time … you have had an awful couple of years…X

It’s not great here … the weather seems to be one extreme to the other doesn’t it. Heatwave then grey and grizzly.
I bet Rox makes a great Shield Maiden with her hair, Hope the weather’s good for her.
I’m just slobbing and pottering.
Had a great but tiring day at the Viking Festival, my daughter and grandaughter arrived yesterday and they also took part, along with the Clydes. I was was surprised to see how easily Lily could handle that big sword…AND, looking completely comfortable with it. She’d have made a great Shield Maiden back in the day…
I’ll put up some more when I’ve gone through them all.

Great photos Rox you all really look the part.
Thanks Jess I’ll get some of the others posted tomorrow.
Morning weather not very nice here today. Bought a dress last year in the M&S sale went to put it on and the security tag was still on it. Will take over to Braehead and ask them to take it off for me.Rox looking for ward to seeing the rest of your photos.
Still dreary here today, supposed to get the heatwave back by Friday, wait and see
Here, South Yorkshire, It was mild at 20C. Comfortable for the family dinner who came thisafternoon.
@Rox … fabulous photos … it’s looks like something from a movie. all that’s missing is some lightning strikes in the sky in the background or a village burning.
Certainly a rare theme to add to the family photo album and pass on through the generations. One that will be treasured I should think.
Looking forward to more!
Started sunny here but has gone overcast now but you can tell it is slowly warming up again. Not looking forward to it at all. I got quite crabby with the last one.

Morning. Not sure what the weather is going to be like today. Got washing I want to hang out but will wait a little while and see if it stays dry. Going to have do some food shopping as the freezer is almost empty.
Morning All, The photos I posted before were taken by a professional photographer from the village, we asked her to take a few for us, we went up the beach a bit where it was quiet to get them, there’s several more. I’m not too bad with photos, but I couldn’t take ones like that to save myself lol.
Most of these ones were taken with the phone, but they turned out ok.

Rox it looks like you all had a fantastic time at the festival. Reminds of the ones in Largs the Viking village and everything else, the battle then they would set the boat on fire, then set off fireworks.
That was just a wee boat quickly done for the burning, I like the really big longboats that get used in the Winter Festivals.
It’s not bad here today but a good bit colder and windy. Not going out again I need to cool off a bit, had a bad morning with my blooming car.
Enjoy your day everyone. 
Lovely photos …it looks like everyone had a great time. No one seems to do anything like that anymore …it must be great for community spirit. A real Viking lass.

Morning, Well it’s back to rain again today. Heading over to Wick later for my monthly stock up.
If it’s dry I might sit at the Old Pilot House above the harbour and have a carry out latte. It’s a lovely view there.
Have a good day.
Good Morning All,a cloudy dreich one here so no plans to go gallivanting…back to housework and cooking for the freezer.
See Ye Ye A’ later.x
