Jorvik Opening
Feb. 13th, 2008 07:00 pmHad a great day with Victor working with the Jorvik Vikingr. We did the opening ceremony with Dan Snow, worked the crowd, saw some friends and fought a few duels :-) Legs are feeling the weight of the mail now!

Least favourite moments: the Jorvik centre also engaged some comedy vikings for the kids which was a laugh, but we had to accompany them on the procession. I've not had to compete with Abba music on a march before!
( Most Embarrasing Moment )
Best bits: making up some bit about omens re the spear and charging off to Valhalla shouting defiance, quoting appropriate poetry to visitors from Bergen and quoting from the Havamal under pressure for the news camera.
Looking forward to tomorrows quiet standing around!
