Vikings of Bjornstad - Enchanted Yule

During the Christmas season, isn't the thought of marauding Viking warriors with their longship under full sail the first things that come to mind? Nevertheless, a Yule celebration in a winery is a nice addition to the season. These photos of The Vikings of Bjornstad at a few Enchanted Viking Yule Festivals were taken by Sandra Fromm and Jack Garrett.

A winery offers its wares	And they're appreciated...
Enjoying the ambience	Lots of vendors showing their goods
Bob, accompanied by the dreaded Viking Snow Parrot	Jack, Sandra and Cian ponder a game of Hnefatafl
Necklaces - including amber	It's pewter and bronze, but it's our treasure hoard regardless

Bob explains the game of Hnefatafl	Sandra and Nancy Thym add some music to the proceedings
Ed's arrowhead exhibit and treasure hoard	Cian anayzes the coinage for a visitor
Sandra adds some ethereal music with her harp	It's a nice relaxed setting for the day

Interesting...	Wineries are known to be threatening venues...

It wouldn't have been the same without Sandra and her harp	And we didn't even take time for mead
