Jennieworld Today

Today was a good day. We had a day out at Cosmeston Medieval Village. They were holding a special weekend for the bank holiday which involved lots of people dressed up in medieval constumes, as well as a battle between the Welsh and English for possession of the village! There was a hog roast, as well as a medieval tavern (Husband had half a pint of mead ale), a pancake stall and lots of other stalls selling suitable items to fit in with the theme. It made me really want to dress up! We were surprised by the number of little children who were dressed up too, and really getting into the spirit of things.

My boys enjoyed themselves, and have already expressed an interest in going back, as there was plenty there to keep them amused. They’ve even chosen what clothes they’d wear if they could dress up! I think that the purchase of a bow and arrows, and a short wooden sword may have added to the attraction of the place! They also enjoyed seeing the few animals there, including the pigs in the picture below, some chickens and some black sheep. Also, despite the weather forecast, the day stayed warm and bright (Husband was a little pink in the face with slight sunburn) until well after we started back home.
