After having to miss seeing a lot of friends opening weekend due to work, I was happy to get out to Sherwood Forest last Saturday! I was even more happy to spend the day with Molly, one of my closest friends from high school days, who I've always been in touch with but had not seen in person for about 20 years.

Here's Molly and I outside the new Sherwood Keep.

Better view of the keep, this is actually the office/retreat of the faire's owner.

a little morning fairy frolic...

Mini-Princess Merida

Here's a brand new pub, the Three Stags, yes there is a tree growing through it.

The new pub is a great place to make new friends!

A Scottish dog,

More to come

Ouch!

Hey are you alright?

And at the end of the day, little dancing around the firepit in the stone circle.

And the seemingly inevitable Star Wars character...

There are many strange and beautiful things in your forest...

Lovely ladies, and warm February weather. What could be better?

Is the "stone" facade of the castle concrete? It looks really sharp in your pictures.

Midwinter Night's Dream ... Never seen anything like it.

It is some kind of decorative plaster deal, not sure of the details. I do know most of it was done by one guy.

Looks like fun to me.

PS: the redheaded lass in the pub picture, in the light gray dress. I want to see more of her dress. Hey, I'd like to see more of HER, too, but this is a family-friendly forum.
