Cameron LOVES tablet. So do I for that matter. The sugar rush will probably make him hyper, but what the heck? He's going to be in the best place for it.

Had a bit of a scare earlier on. Cameron is currently rehearsing for a school play. He's in the drama group (cos' he loves showing off) and he has rehearsals Mon, Wed and Thurs of next week. "When's the play?" I asked. "Friday evening" says he. "Bummer" says I, "You won't be going to York then" The look on his face was a picture. He had to phone his mum and check. She told him it wasn't until the Monday after the holiday week. Phew!

modified a bit, I couldnt make Phil a costume as well as my own so he can't go (he is a big fella needs alot of material! Its a shame as he is a history fanatic. If we do another like this Ill get onto it sooner.

Murton Park is the place, it's signposted from the ring road as "The Yorkshire Museum of Farming" and is just off the Bridlington Road from York.

I will be there from Friday morning to meet and greet, if you could give me an idea of arrival times that would be helpful. Can people also confirm if they are coming asap. so I can start to allocate buildings.

Vehicles can only be moved around on site out of opening hours so at other times we'll have to use trolleys or wheelbarrows to cart stuff into the village.

During open hours we can use the main building and it's facilities, out of hours we have a key to a toilet / shower block.

That just runs to 'medium' in our local Vikings :D
I've organised a kirtle for him, maybe two, and a cloak and hat. Can you see that he has trousers that won't be conspicuously non dark ages ? He could do with a belt too........probably Eric might be your best bet there.

They'll fit, the owner is 6' 3" and has a 54 inch chest. I'm hoping these will go over the top of something since they're linen. The cloak is wool though so he ought to be warm enough.
We can use leg wraps to disguise his trousers if need be.

Russ and I ought to be on site mid afternoon on Friday. Maybe a little earlier depending on the weather :)
