Medieval event in Kokkola
There seem to be a never ending row of middle ages events in Europe, and also in my small country. My husband and I went to one in Kokkola, 100 kilometres north from us. It was a great event with riders from Rohan Tallit, a play ground for the children with a king dubbing knights and a mini-tournament, fine craft for sale, barbecue, and talks on herbs in medieval tradition.
Everybody was there
There was spindle spinning…
… and dyeing with fir cones
Plant dyed yarn
The King
And horses on their way to the tournament
And did I see the tournament? No 😦 I saw the lances above the people’s heads…
…and I saw Death in the field when the tournament was over
We had barbecue pork…
…and others had a picknick outside the church wall
I’ll tell you what a treasure I found in another post. I need to take a photo first. It was a very nice and satisfying day, and I can now stop searching for a tool I’ve been looking for for years!
Here’s one who was happy when we came home:
Watch out, hear comes Kasper!

HO HO, that looked like fun! Those Rohan Tallit riders were impressive. Great costumes, that is always the fun part for me.
Pine cones for dyeing…….will have to look that one up. thanks.
