events since Double Wars
Jun. 19th, 2024 10:40 amWhen last I did an SCA related post we were just home from Double Wars, and I have been too busy to post since, so time for a catch-up post!
The weekend after Double Wars was Gränstaverna. That event is held on Seskärö, an island near the border between Sweden and Finland. Since we were heading north we packed everything on Thursday, I did Friday morning's cleaning of the Health Center on Thursday evening, and then we drove to Keldor's dad's in Skelleftåhamn with the cats, and slept there. That meant that after he got done with work on Friday (I brought my computer and did stuff at his dad's) we had only 3 hours to drive to site, instead of more than 3.5, and the cats could stay at their summer home and be fed daily by one of Keldor's cousins, who dropped by. The event was wonderful, as we have come to expect from events done by the Torno group--delightful company, a pretty site, lots of fun things to do. After spending two weeks at Double Wars, where spring had already given way to summer like conditions it was a bit of a contrast to see how much ice was still on the water when we arrived on Friday (and how much had vanished by Sunday when it was time to leave--spring in the north is a very fast time of transition). But all too soon the event was over, and it was time to head south, pick up the cats, and go home.
The following week I did the job interview that I posted about. It was a lovely chat with interesting people, one of whom seems to be a kindred spirit, and I felt that if they offered me the job I would accept, but I was also very aware that they are interviewing five people, and have only one position. Therefore, after the interview I pushed aside all job thoughts and focused on getting ready for the trip to Ireland, which was the first event we put on our calendar for the year...
( Prologue )
For the flights to Ireland we had booked travel from Stockholm Arlanda Airport, with the thought of driving down to the airport. As the event drew closer we saw the Majgreve event in Stockholm advertised, and noticed that it was the weekend after Gränstaverna, and before Strawberry Raid. We also realised that we had booked the flights for the Monday after Majgreve. Thus a plan was formed, and this is how it played out...
( Irish adventures )
( the road trip home and Coronation )
Now our busy event every weekend spring and early summer is drawing to a close. On Friday is the picnic in Uma for midsummer, then Broken Arrow the following week, and Skellefteå Medeltidsdagar the week after. We haven't made any travel plans after that, yet, though there are some tempting events coming up on the calendar.
