Huge weekend at the Geelong Yuletide Medieval Festival....our group had a fantastic time doing battle for the crowds, and watching other performers. The fire dancers were amazing....back to the real world today once we unpack the vehicles, then back to all your dolls....
From 67 down to about 58 now....hang in there my poppets, working as fast as 2 hands can 💜

Come Dec 1st...full steam ahead 🚂🚂🚂
