Medieval festival
in Lund, with dance, fashion show, market, fighting style, jesters, jousting.

June 10, 2012: The buildings in the People's Park in Lund is in disrepair, no one knows what to use them for. This weekend medieval days of 2012 is organized in the park. When I get there is medieval dances shown. Three fiddlers play. All around are market stalls. Taste a spruce drink, tastes fresh and delicious. Trying archery, harder than you might think. Other than my childhood simple bow. Requires strength to draw the bow. Three arrows at a boar, one arrives in the ground, two go too high. Children have a pillow fight, others trying to walk on stilts. I buy aromatic spices. It is shown medieval fashion, strut caps, underwear, dresses, handbags, etc ... A hen is prepared and put in a casserole. I get hungry, eat a herring sandwich. Then appears Albrechts bössor with medieval battle techniques. Features steel gloves, helmet, armor, spears, daggerboard, shield. Gunpowder has made inroads. A hook gun fired, BAM! Children are fencing.

Time for jousting. Skånska Björn knights have a show. Two teams of knights fighting each other. Meet the small target with a lance. Pick up rings with the sword. Jester mocks opponents. They fight with swords. Finally a duel lance against lance. The loser gets mocked. All with a twinkle in his eye. Arcadio entertains with magic. Borrow a hundred note, he burns it up. Sorry. All sorts of tricks. Hundred note shows up in an orange. But wrong note, it's a part of the show or mistake? Buying roasted almonds, then it starts to rain. Bicycles home in the rain.
