'History Alive!' Kelmarsh 2013

 The Kelmarsh Festival of History was great! We all had such a good weekend meeting up with friends and enjoying all of the displays! Joe also did very well with his trading and was so pleased. We took too many photos again and I didn't know what ones to choose so there won't be many this time. 

The first evening is always the hardest with setting up the caravan and the awning, but we managed like a well oiled machine, and even found time to cook our friends a BBQ. Thank you Mark for bringing your speciality of Jamiacan Jerk Chicken, it's delicious!

Berea counting the sleeping bags.
