The weather forecast was one of the reasons why our son didn't join us. It's the end of the school year and he was studying for some final tests of the year. It did pay off, some of his grades are back and they are pretty good. We where fortunate to have friends of another sibbe join us for the day and across the field there was another sibbe of good friends. So we weren't lonely!

My husbands wood carving always attracks a lot of attention.
As does arrow making!
Ofcourse both ladies were nalebinding.
I have a pair of socks that I have to finish!
Preparing meals was a important part of daily life
and the public always loves to see it.
This is why I'v started to prepare authentic meals at events.
I'm still very much a beginner but I do enjoy it.
I wasn't too fond of the taste of the dish I prepared but the others liked it and I came down with some stupid virus that evening. So that is probably the reason why I didn't like it. Still I would be nice to have more recipes, currently I am using the Viking Cookbook which is nice.

An early meal sounds really nice as well but it is quite expensive. Do any of you have it and what is your experience with it?
It;s sold out in a lot of place but it's still available at:

I have "An Early Meal". The recipes are pretty tasty (the ones I've tried, at least), and the research behind them is the best that I've seen. Though I don't know as much about historic food as I do about historic costume, you can read my review of "An Early Meal" on my historic food blog, here.
@Cathy, Thank you for your reaction! I' ll make sure to read your blog before ordering it. Although you liking it is good enough for me!
