I think Jill, Kathleen's daughter was 14 or 15 when she was first introduced to The Society for Creative Anachronism. A wonderful group of folks took her under their wings and soon she was involved in the Madrone Culinary Guild. The Barony of Madrone is in the Middle Ages Kingdom of An Tir. Kathleen and I visited a 2023 and an earlier 2011 Peasants Revel, both at a Queen Ann Park. Many of the same people were at the 2025 Peasants Revel this year at Spiritridge Park in Bellevue. There is an ancient rivalry between the Villages of Sodbury and Bourton on Water, with most folks dressed like a peasant. Tents are set up, decorated by encampments, crafts, art and music enjoyed. Many were engaged in silly games, contests followed by a hearty peasant meal - soup bread and cheese. Most have a 14th century persona, so I don't know the current names of more than six people in this group, but wow what a fun day! With so many active, engaged and friendly people, I tried to get quick casual shots of everyone I could. What a fun day photographing this group - sorry editing took so long. . . Thanks all!
