Found this week in England and shared with me by a friend!

This beautiful lead ampulla which comes from a shrine where pilgrims could purchase a little holy water to take home with them. The raised motif on the front can still be seen.

I'm very excited that my sister and her two teens will be coming with me to the Big Medieval Event this year, however it does mean that I need to provide everything they need to attend, including medieval clothes for three days.

My sister is about the same size as me, so that is just a case of looking at what I will be wearing and seeing if she fits into other things. My niece, however, is another slender girl but sprouting up like a bean pole, so clothing options for her are a little more tricky. She's also a little neuro spicy, so finding things that she can cope with is a consideration also.

My nephew is a pretty good sport and will wear whatever. He may feel a little odd at first, but as there is another new boy not far off his age coming for the first time too, I feel by the time they compare their outfits and see what other manly men are wearing (those hose are a bit alarming for the new re-enactor), I think he will be fine.

The more busy bit is that it's not just day clothes. Oh, no. I need to prepare three sets of fancy Grand Parade outfits as well, which I have of my own and can modify, but it'll all time and effort and organising tents and sleeping gear along with all the camp stuff.

It'll be fun though.
