Medieval Festival @ Herstmonceaux Castle

It was an early start today as Toni, Sam, Aaron and I headed out to Bexhill-on-Sea. First stop was to check in on Toni's nan and then we headed out to Herstmonceaux Castle to go to a Medieval Festival.

It was a great little day out. Lots of displays on offer, falconry, tournaments etc. Sadly the jousting was cancelled due to poor grass conditions so we were treated to an example of how mounted knights would have trained.

We did manage to spend a lot of money on various things though included a course of lovely prints and some German mead for our handfasting.

On our return to Bexhill Toni, Sam, Pam and I headed went out for fish and chips for dinner. Aaron stayed behind as he'd filled himself up with food at Herstmonceaux. I was sensible for once and opted for grilled cod, rather than battered which was a good call as I wasn't suffering with bad heartburn afterwards.

The end of the day drifted out with us watching Channel 4's Top 30 Comedy Shows programme. It was great to see so many good shows getting a nod and also being reminded of some that we had forgotten about. Well done to Father Ted for taking the #1 spot.
