Re-enacting Saint George's day at Wrest Park for me will always bring back memories of looking after a 5 month old Benjamin Services at his first event, trying to ensure his fair skin did not burn too badly in the heat. Unfortunately this was 4 years later, the same April weekend was bitterly cold and damp, I suppose that was good news for some of the traders there though, as there seemed to be a never ending line of re-enactors returning from the market carrying bundles of army surplus blankets, or animal skins to wrap up warm in.

So where to start writing about 4 days of fun, interesting weather, hordes of public and actually being on the winning side?

I suppose the obvious place is the weather - after all we are British and it was quite a dominating feature of the weekend!
