| ...we ate everything!! |
On Saturday we went to Sherwood Forest for an event called Sherwood through the ages, where 25 different enactment groups from the copper age to modern day soldiers were set up in the woodland - on a circular walk around the Major Oak. (That's an ancient oak tree associated with Robin Hood).
All the groups, Romans, Vikings, Saxons etc had their own encampments and could answer any questions about the era, their tools and weapons etc. Faith, Quentin and Malcolm had a go at archery and we browsed the market stalls before heading to the nearby village of Edwinstowe for a good old pub lunch.
