Resa’s Tree at Sunrise with greens, golds, and browns.
We encountered Sir Smokey Kitty in the Castle of Gwendolyn the Faire. Her castle is truly over the hills and far away from where we live.
In the 14th century, Gwendolyn the Faire would have invited up to 10,000 people to her banquets. The Erbolate (Herbed Eggs) required around 11,000 eggs to prepare. In these time-warped days where medieval traditions fall out of the wrinkles, Gwendolyn the Faire only had to feed 30 medievalists. It was still quite a feat, and the preparation of the courses was masterful.
Bottles from medieval wine, ale, and mead. The menu. The cookbook used for the medieval courses.
Goblets waiting and whining for wine. The food was excellent and consumed with pleasure. A mix of modern and medieval.

That looks like a lot of fun, Timothy. Yes, Smokey definitely looks like Kat.
It was. Thanks, Dale.
Resa’s tree look so beautiful against that electric blue sky!
Sir Smokey looks like he probably enjoyed the festivities, too. Sounds like a fun evening, Tim!
Thanks, Lavinia. It was a fun evening.
Oh this sounds so excited
Silently wishing that I’d gotten an invo to this delightful mead fest.
Must make my acquaintance with Gwendolyn, who knows just maybe
Those cranes are a sight to be hold. I can’t remember now, but them in flight must be one of your best. They look like kites against the blue sky.
Thanks, abvr.
How lovely. I do like to see something a bit more unusal when it comes to entertaining.
I like the unusual. Thanks, Shey.
Am I right in thinking you’ve done the banquet in the past? As in this is an ‘important’ fixture?
We had not done this one, but we have done various medieval gatherings in the past.
Yes, that is the ones I am meaning. they all look fabulous. And I think it is great thing to do.
What fun and a relief that 10,000 eggs didn’t need to be found.
That would be a lot of eggs to be found. Thanks, Couriers.
The feast sounds wonderful and the pics are beautiful. Cranes glowing at sunset is spectacular. 🙂
Thanks, Janet.
The cranes at sunset are stunning! The feast sounds like a lot of fun.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Cranes in red… brilliant shots!
Sounds and looks like you had a very enjoyable feast.
Thanks, Marina.
Spectacular colours – Resa’s tree captures her elegance.

HI Timothy, it’s lovely to see Resa’s tree.
Thanks, Roberta.
Wow! Like the cozy feast.
Thanks, Dawn.
Nothing but the best for Kitty!such a fun poem and love seeing Resa’s tree!! 💕
Thanks, Cindy.
Sounds like a fun event! Mead and Coke and interesting combination.
Thanks, Brian. When we lived in Spain, teenagers would buy the cien paseta ($1) “bricks” (one liter) of wine and mix the cheap wine with Coca Cola, and called it Calimocho. They said the fizz of the coke helped intensify the buzz from the cheap wine.
Ah now I know who Sir Smokey is .. sounds like a great evening!
It was. Thanks, Julie.
