Nocturne Medieval Night

Our hosts Alan and Mel were actually the stars of the show and we were nobles so we really received the royal treatment - many goblets of spiced wine, beers, fresh flat bread baked in the wood oven, cheese, pate, all finished off with an incredible fire dance show in the gardens. We finally crawled into bed around 2 am after a wonderful evening - thank you Alan and Mel.Læs mere
