The Ydalir Viking Group at Oldham Carnival, June 28

( I was wandering round pretending to be Cartier Bresson and the guy in the second picture very obligingly attacked me- and when I failed to capture it first time round very obligingly attacked me again. )

That 2nd is a wonderful photo. Our Castle Days are mid July. This includes the Vikings as the Northern Crusades and our castle were all the consequences of the Danish and Swedish kings' request to the Pope to 'Do something about those Damn Estonian Viking-pirates!

They are great fun, although this year I expect to be working - roasting a whole lamb on a spit.

Excellent!

Will you be dressing up in period costume to roast your lamb?

Probably not. I think my 'Organic is Orgasmic' apron will be the limit.
