Hi ian(aka pappa smurf)!! I went on Saturday. I would have loved to have stayed for both days but unfortunately Mister ds had to work Sunday afternoone, so we stayed at Margate overnight and raced home straight away on Sunday morning. I have never been to anything like it before but I was totally wrapped!

I'm not sure if I saw you. There were so many DSLR's out. Talk about camera-envy! I've been googling new cameras ever since I got home.

Did you stay for the night show?

BTW! I just realised you're from Dalby!!! I'm from Chinchilla!

Was going today, but got caught up with work. It looks like everyone had a great time. Look forward to some pics being put up!

Lol, from a reenactors point of view, I can assure you it was like being followed by the paparazzi... we felt kind of special lol hope no one was caught doing something embarrassing though

Sure was. Looked like this:


The Fairyland at the bottom of the Garden by David de Groot, on Flickr

[Wulfys Kingdom]

that's the camp! It looks amazing David!! It also makes lighting all of those candles worthwhile lol... not to mention the fire risk of all the hay on the ground, highly flamable stuff lol
