Picnic at Petersham Park
We had such a great time at the last picnic, that we’re doing a second one, but this time at Petersham Park, Petersham from 11am – 3pm.
Co. Staple and Friends will be meeting in Petersham Park for a pot-luck picnic, some hand-craft and talking all things C14th living history.
Bring a sandwich, or a plate, and come and say hi!
Modern clothes and picnic – not a period event.
Bring hand crafts, research materials or whatever C14th stuff you’re into right now.
It’s free, it’s kid friendly and it’s open to all.

Wafers – Part 2
So two years ago, Richard made us a beautiful wafer iron and we tried to make it work. Wafer Part 1
This year, Baron Drake Morgan was running a wafer class and so Louise, Richard and I all trooped off to the St Florian campsite at Rowany Festival to get some new tips about making wafers.
