Once again we were too hot and busy to post in the morning.
See you next year, Fergus! Now time to go drink our body weight in Gatorade. 🥵

And the finale of our English-Hog Abroad!
(And just in time to see you tomorrow at Fergus Medieval Faire!)

In a beautiful stroke of coincidence, whose tent should be That Way down King Street but that of your own Whimsical Squid Creations? Henry didn't end up seeing a king, but he did get a face-to-face audience with a prince. The monarch-to-be was shorter, fatter and ate far more bugs than he had expected, but being a fond scoffer of insects himself, Henry only found this more endearing. Thus Henry did pledge himself to Prince Frog and his realm, which happened to extend to the farthest reaches of our tent walls, and Whimsical Squid was untroubled by mosquitos for the rest of the day!

An English-Hog abroad, Part 7!

Returning from the show, Henry spied a promising sign. King Street was either This Way or That Way. 50/50 odds were good enough for Henry, and he rolled on to see what lay That Way. After all, what's more English than finding a monarch to be deferential to?

An English-hog abroad, part 6!

Somehow, the queue reached its end, and Henry ended up front row at the best show in town. It was a rousing display of English (or at least, English-sounding) history. Sometimes a historical reenactment takes the form of two of Sherwood's finest youths beating the pie filling out of each other with sticks, and after an hour in that line-up, Henry found this quite cathartic indeed.

An English Hog abroad, part 5!

Henry decided to attend some theatre, but before he could get there he came up against another quintessential English experience: standing in a slow queue, hanging on in quiet desperation. Unlike the other would-be patrons, he had a secret weapon of comfort: he was his own sleeping bag!

An English Hog abroad, part 4!

Suitably caffeinated and freshly perfumed, Henry felt ready for a trip to the pub. Unfortunately the pub wasn't willing to serve him the traditional pint - citing something about the risks of a prickly drunk - but food was a different matter. Even though there wasn't a single bug in it ("What manner of backward pub is this?" Henry thought) this hedgehog-sized pie did still hit the spot.

An English Hog abroad, Part 3!

While rolling among the shops after securing his tea, Henry heard mention of an "English Rose". He spruced up his quills and checked his teeth for lingering tea leaves or bug bits, and prepared to make a suave introduction to the blossoming beauty. Alas, "English Rose" was even more metaphorical than he thought, as it was used conversationally when referring to this rosey lotion from Purple Heather Skincare, but the scent was so lovely that he still felt enchanted, and he even brought it home for us. Sometimes there's perks to your merchandise going on capers!

An English Hog abroad, Part 2!

Predictably, the first thing to do for an English-hog in an unfamiliar place was to secure a source of tea. A good black leaf mixture is the foundation of any new venture, whether human, mollusc, or in this case erinaceid. Though the variety here at ITR Creations (Made by a fellow SCAdian friend and very delicious) was bewildering, the Lady Elizabeth Grey seemed just the ticket. With this issue settled, the rest of the day could go on safely.

While we count down the last week before Fergus Medieval Faire, have our latest adventure from Robin in the Hood Medieval Festival!
This year at Robin in the Hood, we had some of Sherwood's own native children to accompany us. One of them, Henry (pictured here with his brother Horace), is as English as mushy peas and warm ale. Feeling a little homesick and being there at the heart of such an Anglocentric event, he went out into the festival to find some homey comforts. Without a whisper of warning to his hosts, of course...anyway, let's see what he found!

Had to play thread chicken with this batch, but I’m loving the colour combo of this new sea turtle! (Pattern by Dragons' Garden)

We’ve been a little quiet because it’s now strawberry season, and stocking up for our next two faires that are only a week apart from each other! But Here’s a sneak peek of a new keychain we’ll have for The Ontario Pirate Festival! 🦀
