We participated in the Viking Market at
Lindholm Høje (North of Ålborg in Denmark) June 24 & 25 2006.

It was a lovely weekend despite the changing weather.

Midsummer night fire in front of the museum.

I have embroidered a new banner for the Studio,
and we were working in a fine pavilion tent (skewed by the west wind).

Show by Icelandic horses

Some photos from the market place.

Erik doing another tattoo

Adam was ten years old and born in southern India. He had a small tattoo across his nose that he had got just after birth.

A fine family portrait:
Jean-Francois, Mark, Anita, Erik, Naja, Colin, Kira.
Iben made all our clothes!

Suddenly a few mice came up out of their holes in the ground in the middle of the Market place where hundreds of people, dogs and horses were trampling around.

It was a fine Market where lots of people got a good experience.
We hope to be back next year.
