Yesterday I went to the Elf Fantasy Fair with a friend. This fair is the one of the largest fantasy fairs of Europe, and it’s being held at Kasteel de Haar.
The reason I wanted to go, was because Cecile Corbel would be performing. By coincidence I stumbled upon her website and when I listened some of her songs, I instantly loved her music. So, no wonder I wanted to listen to her perform live and what better way to spent your day at the Fair.
Since Cecile’s performance was in the afternoon around 4pm, we talked about all the other things we could do. There wasn’t much that we wanted to do or listen to or see. Eventhough there were many writers, actors and workshops. We simply walked around, looked at all the things for sale. I’ve been looking the whole day for a medieval looking dress and I finally bought one for a fairly nice price. I still need some accories with it.
There were some shows to see. There was this battlefield thing, where Braveheart look-a-likes were fighting the Romans. We left that pretty quickly, we wanted to visit the castle (only to be late anyway). There was also a horse show. It ended soon after we arrived (it might have been going on for some time, I don’t know). I didn’t think it very spectacular, but that’s probably me being used to all this fancy and spectacular stuff. Besides, what was shown, was something I’ve done as well, when riding horses.
And guess what I came across: A parrot. When I saw it, I simply had to take a photo of it. When I asked the owner if it was possible, she was a bit annoyed. Apparently more people had wanted to pet the bird, and she told me he was sick of it. I simply explained I wanted to take a photo, since my class is called the parrots and that was okay. See the result: he kept sitting, and was actually posing. LOL. I’m thinking to actually develop this one and put it in a frame to hang in my new classroom. As a little present, after the move back.
I’ve made a lot of photos, but mainly the same, so I made a selection and post them here. Just simply click the read more button. And feel free to leave any comments about them 
). And I desperately need to talk them through with a collegue, so that we’ll be doing tomorrow.
