Enjoyed a great weekend at Pyrate Weekend at the Faire. Nature was kind, breaking a heatwave and bringing overcast clouds. Which is good since the weekend was chock full of activities. Wild scavenger hunts, wondrous acrobats, tragic stories, a celebration of the 1000th birthday of a very infamous Scottish figure and of course plenty of pirates.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

And supposedly the newly appointed sheriff accompanied by his sibs, Shep and Daisy	You can always find Robin Hood at a faire	Another flower vendor	This Master-at-Arms looks familiar
Some morning revels until	the royal party arrives	Maude Campbell seems to be on the prowl	At the Gatehouse, Lady Kingston conveys big news
Princess Mary mulls over the death of Anne Boleyn	A rather, er, petulant messenger	Mistress Anne Bassett announces a visitor	Ambassador Eustace Chapuys comes to advise her on how to return from exile
But so does the vile and cunning Thomas Cromwell, but for his own reasons	Mary is defiant since it would mean repudiating her faith and her parents' marriage	Things take a nasty turn thanks to Mistress Bassett	She reveals Mary's intrigues
