We have just come across the Jorvik Viking Festival which is held every year in York. It looks a fantastic event and runs from 19th - 27th February. Not only can you see grown men trying to whop each other's heads off but you can learn Viking skills - whopping for beginners, carrying young ladies off, archaeology, more whopping or storytelling and crafts. There are a range of visits and activities ending with the boat burning ceremony on the evening of Saturday 26th. You can buy any number of swords, shields and no doubt bandages at the event. The world expert on the archaeology of poo, Dr Andrew (Bone) Jones will amaze and amuse his audience with tales from the toilets of old. If you like the idea and fancy coming to Yorkshire for the event we would love to hear from you.
Best wishes for 2011
PS For those of a more gentle disposition we have put a special package together for Valentine's Day weekend - the days around 11 - 15th Feb - with bubbly, a substantial collection of handmade chocolates and as ever - a cosy log fire.
