My eternal good friend Michael and his good wife Lisa arriveth from
their "hunting village" to the east to see the great festival of New
Market Village. I have known Michael even before I knew how to
duel. In fact, Captain Gareth, Michael and I all learned to duel at the
same time from the same master. I tell Michael that he and his
good woman may travel in festival clothes if they so desired, but they
decide otherwise. Upon arriving at the gathering point, Sir
Richard's dwelling, both Michael and Lisa are surprised at our
numbers. In fact, we must travel in two coaches.
No sooner have we arrived at the festival, that the group
separates. Lady Mary and I travel with Sir Michael and Lisa.

Hey guys! Hi Bob!
Who better to tickle your
funny bone than Ded Bob? We find Ded Bob bobidizing new
followers. This undead hast the best taste in women.
Unlike the actual Globe
Theater, pillows are not needed for the patrons as benches has been
provided. The actual Globe Theater opened in 1599 with about 3000
patrons. In 1633, the theater burned down but was rebuilt. The Puritans
closed it down in 1642. Today a replica of the Globe Theater has been
built near the original site

We finally watch " Cast in Bronze"
perform at the Sherwood Stage.
Long before, you could find Robin Hood and his Merry Men here, but no
longer. "Cast in Bronze" was a new act last year. Michael and Lisa
have seen him perform at the Canterbury Shire (the only other
festival he plays at) and are intrigued by his music. The carillon is
loud and many do not sit near the speakers for fear of becoming
deaf. The masked "spirit" plays the carillon to the sounds of
familiar music. Oft to the right of the stage, an assistant sells flat
platters called CDs.

We journey through Sherwood Forest to watch the falconer from Birds of Prey exercise his birds. A
rescued red tailed hawk plays with the falconer as it keeps its distance
high in the trees. A young vulture spreads her great wings to sun
herself.
As we make our way to the exit, we indulge ourselves with candied
almonds and make our farewells.
