remember these guys from last year?.... THEY'RE BACK!

A final (medieval) flurry with fish!

Sunday crowds, as seen from across the river

...and in the Old Town Square

Queuing for lunch

Fish head, anyone?

yummy... smoked salmon, roasted root vegetables and raw carrot in a cabbage leaf served with dark bread and a cup of water all on a wooden platter

Jousting

What can you see? Knights on horses.

Really? All I can see is a big crowd.

I have a better view and there are knights on horses.

Oh, yes, I can see them now!

What are they doing?

Riding up and down and hitting each other with big long sticks

like that one? yes, mummy.

 and a little later...

look mummy! those are the horses we saw before!

Don't they look big and grand?

they are horses, mummy!
