Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
from Geoffrey Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury Tales
A new Ren Fest debuted this year near Austin. Very impressive for their first year. We will surely turn this into an annual event. The Sherwood Forest Faire was much more family friendly than any of the other Renaissance Festivals we've been to. We saw Jousting, a funny Puppet Show, participated in the Children's School of Sword, and attended a Fairy Tea Party!
Forsooth we had a splendid time.
