we do this too, but it's a bunch of rednecks wearing potato sacks and yelling about how the south will rise again. and the damsel in distress is usually someone's cousin..

very cool stuff. love the cannon shots. #2 is pretty interesting as well.

Hey, I'll have you know I wore my Sunday best potato sack today and my boots were the ones without a patch on the toe. No comment on my cousin, she's 16...I think.....

Kev - 'er in TMF 001 - you wouldn't mess would you!

Lovely timing on the cannon shots

"Now is the winter of our discontent,
Made glorious summer by this son of York."

Oh wait,...he into whose mouth the Bard placed these imaginary words died at Tewkesbury I think. Didn't they just reveal that he had been dug up in a car park, with evidence of sword slashes to his buttocks?

I don't suppose all that was in the script for today. Nevertheless, very nice set, Kev. (Very creative use of old lamp shades on some! )

Great story telling and photos Kev

Super series Kev and the last shot is wonderful, the angle of her head is just perfect. Brian, his grave was found in Leicester.

There were some 'don't mess with me' gals there Chris

Cheers all, it was a good fun day, hot and I only took one lens so didn't get a lot of what I would have liked but that's life.

The ironic thing was that the BBC are airing a show called 'The White Queen' set in the time of the war of the roses, last nights episode was 'The Battle of Tewkesbury'..

Thanks Again
