It was a beautiful day. I was worried because it was raining but then it stopped and the sun came out :) We arrived at the Navan Centre around 11 am and didn't leave until nearly 4 pm.
Everyone loved my costume :)
Don't worry, he was only pretending to chop my head off.

| Peek-a-boo! |
He looked angry but he wasn't. Before we left the field he told me stories about a Viking Pirate and all about Valhalla and their Gods. It was very interesting, he said that he could see that I was interested because I am a good listener :)
I listened to a storyteller tell us of the big battle that happened and he told us news that Brian Ború had died. Then I met this man :)
They asked me if I had any money in my purse and I said no. They said every Viking, needs money so they did something special for me! I got to hammer a coin for myself and put it into my purse. The man let me sit on his knee and I hit it! It made a very loud noise, but afterwards the coin was made :) I put it in my purse for safekeeping.
I also got to mill flour! :) The lady laughed and said that I looked very handsome :)
I had lots of fun and it was a lovely day :) It was a great adventure. The men said I needed an axe and a shield! Maybe a helmet too, Bunny said she would see what she could do. We'll be going to the tented village in a few weeks time so that will be fun :) Maybe I'll have my axe and shield by then.
