I don't remember the place, though the country was Wales. We were possibly near Cardiff but I can't remember with certainty.
It's been more than 32 years, after all.
DW and I were travelling the countryside and we had heard about a medieval festival, with mock battles, plenty of costumes, and simple food. But sadly, that's all I remember from this short stop.
At one point, we went into a stable and were able to try on certain costumes from that time. I know that this photo was taken in that stable because in the original, underexposed photo, there's a life-sized model horse behind me.
And I placed a helmet on my head.
DW had taken the shot but there hadn't been enough light and the colour in the processing made my face a bright red. I needed to use both of my photo-editing software tools, after scanning the negative, to get this photo to look as good as it is (and I know, it's not very good).
While my memory of this day has faded, my memories of travelling Wales have not. It's a trip I'll never forget and I hope to one day return to this beautiful country.
Happy Thursday!
