This is an archive collection of entries from  my main personal blog, My Mundane Mid-Life.


This particular entry is from July 20, 2002.



Huzzah!

The main entrance at the Bristol Renaissance Faire The Piccadilly Parasol Shoppe Some of the merchandise on the walls of The Piccadilly Parasol Shoppe Chelby completes a sale of a nice blue cotton parasol Damian and Chelby walking the Faire Mmmmm... orange sorbet in an orange!

Today, Carol & I went somewhere we haven't been in almost 20 years - the Bristol Renaissance Faire. In fact, the last time we were there is was still called King Richard's Faire. We actually went up to surprise our friends Chelby and Damian who are selling their ware up there. If you've been reading this blog, you may have known that I was making some parasol frames for them or their shop - The Piccadilly Parasol Shoppe. It was nice to surprise them and see the finished products that they are selling. We didn't want to disturb them too much, so we went around and listened and watched the entertainment, ate (a lot - and it's not just that old turkey leg foods anymore!) and went window shopping. There a lot of good crafts up there. The whole thing is bigger and better than the last time we were up there. We walked a lot - and it's all up and down dirt and uneven paths, so it was a good workout just to walk. Anyway, it was a good time and we're glad we went up there.

Comments on this entry

Oh, Bristol Faire! Cheryl, a co-worker of mine, and her first husband Rich used to work at the Faire several years ago. She's a rather reserved person, but worked as a greeter! I myself have not been to the Faire yet, but want to go. Closest my wife and I came was our recent roadtrip tracing the Il/WI state line from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi. Early on, we encountered a traffic jam around Old Rt. 41, due to an auction and to people trying to get to the Faire. I'd completely forgotten about the Faire, so find it came as a pleasant surprise. Sorry to miss Kaminari Daiko; they'd have been something to recount to my bimonthly haiku club Chi-ku.
