Mushroom adventure

Life has been so busy at the moment that I have not had time lately to connect with nature, and since it is nearing the end of the university semester my time have been filled with study. I was lucky enough to finally find myself some spare time, I decided to visit this years mushrooms. Since autumn is over and winter has started to set in, now is the perfect chance to see the lovely Amanita muscaria's (or red fairy houses as I call them) on display.

I was really worried that I might have been too late to see the full display as they normally start appearing towards the end of autumn. However the gods did not disappoint me and I was in a wonderland as soon as I sighted a few.

I am hoping that next time I visit there will still be plenty of little fae foke about with their beautiful homes on display.

Gumeracha Medieval Fair (part 1)

Here in the south medieval themed fairs and markets are not common and tend to be more of a 'family day out' than anything. Where I am from we only have one of these fairs a year the, Gumeracha Medieval Fair. I have been going to this fair for several years now, and have enjoyed my time there each time. However as you might know this year the organisers were not so kind to me when I asked questions on the sale of bones and dead animal products (which thankfully they did sell). All this lead to a rather bittersweet feel to the fair, but I managed to not let it bother me and had a grand time stocking up my bone and bling collections! 

I took so many photos that sorting them out was an adventure in itself. Below are only a few of the pictures I took, I will be posting a part 2 and 3 in the future. Let me know in the comments about the fairs or markets you have attended.
