Joe & Laurie!

Joe, Laurie and Eleanor have come to the U.K!

At last with visas fully approved they are now here! We are so looking forward to spending time with them and catching up. It has been a long time since we all spent time together. We got to meet little Eleanor too!

Thankfully Joe still has his online business Arms Of Chivalry CLICK HERE and will now be able concentrate more on that and maybe even do some re-enactments again. SEE PREVIOUS POST FRAMLINGHAM CASTLE.

You can also follow Joe on Instagram and Facebook @armsofchivalry.

A few days after they arrived, so they could get over jet lag, we threw a big welcome home party for them!

Great Yarmouth Castle

We enjoyed a day out in Great Yarmouth. It was surprisingly cold! The castle ruin was worth it though, and we had a blast running around with swords and shields that Zac had made. 

See you next time!

Monologue competition winners!

A week ago Magdalene and I entered a monologue/script competition by the channel Actingislitmylife. I was totally shocked when I heard the final results!
There were 323 video submissions into the contest so I thought I'd have a very small chance in winning at all. But I was extremely surprised and excited when I heard that I had came 2nd place! This was also the first time I'd ever done one of these. It was lots of fun!

Scroll down for all of the video links to see the winners monologues and Rachel's video announcing the winners.
