Lots of photos from the 18th century picnic

[frualeydis]

The picnic was held at a lovely small "summer castle" finished in 1796. The buildings and gardens are restored to how it looked then. There are also economy buildings and a kitchen garden, but we didn't go there. Instead we sat by the fountain in the formal, "french", garden and ate and talked. Except me who had to run around with Maja all the time - my feet are sore. The park is lovely though.

Me and Maja, of course:





Gunilla from Gotvik, the local SCA shire, Maja, me and Karin, from a local re-enactment group.


Maja setting the "table"


bippimalin, initiator to the picnic and seneschal of Gotvik. And really cool.


Maja, soon off for the first of many walks


Maja in the "rooms" in the hedges


And me


Maja, the hedges and the "castle"


And again Gunilla, Malin and Karin


My camera ran out of batteries quite early, so I didn't get any photos of those who arrived later.

She doesn't specifically like or dislike dressing in historical costume. I don't think that she thinks of it as dressing up, dressing up is what she does with her Disney princess dresses, this is more like "when we do certain things we have certain clothes"; so if she likes the activity the dress coems with it.

I see. It's a good thing for you that she likes reenactment.
