Spotted in the wild
Aug. 30th, 2021 09:56 amWe had a fun "Luleå is a small town" moment this weekend. Kheldor, Odal, who was visiting from southern Sweden, and I were on our way to Frostheim's Sunday archery practice and social/craft afternoon. We stopped at a petrol station along the way.
As we waited for the tank to fill, I looked up and thought I saw Viscount Björn Sneskägg (who lives in Styringheim, an island quite a long way south of here) leaving the building, so I asked Kheldor "Is that Björn?" he replied that it could be (the waxed and curled mustache is a pretty good clue), and then I thought I saw the Honourable John Smith (also of Styringheim) come out of the building.
One could be a coincidence, two of them together and I am now certain that I have correctly recognised SCA people in their modern world guises. So we hopped out of the car and went over to chat briefly before they started their journey back down south and we went off to Frostheim's practice to climb trees, shoot things, throw things, stab stuff and generally enjoy a lovely afternoon socialising with friends.
