naath and I went to Hedingham Castle to see the Jousting Knights. It was all a bit kiddie-orientated, to be honest, although the horsemanship was quite impressive. There was also some birds-of-prey stuff going around with them for no apparent reason, which was nice, because I like big pretty birdies. Naath almost got crashed into by the Harris Hawk. They promised a 'hog roast' but there was no hog and fire-pit on-site, they just meant they were serving nice roast pork instead of just nasty burgers and things; it was pretty good anyway. Other highlights were the guy who got dragged around by a horse repeatedly, people fighting with quarterstaves and morningstar-flails and axes and stuff when they got bored, and the small child who was obviously the progeny of one of the re-enactment people who challenged the knight he was meant to be the squire of, and showed that he did actually know how to handle a sword even though he obviously didn't have the strength to do so that well.
