Pictures from today's viking market

Some of us from Nylöse went to a viking market about 30 kilometres north of Gothenburg today. Thanks to me having a digital camera and armillary accompanying me home and working with them, they can now be seen at Nylöse's web site. It was terribly warm in the sun, so we didn't stay long, but it was nice. The viking house is were the local SCA group will have one of their events in the autumn. Unfortunately at the same date as my oldest friend, linespace gets married, so I can't go.

Oh, and Maja liked her new shoes. She didn't wear her tunic and viking coat, because it was just too warm.
