Picture by the talented Vera Bos ( http:\/\/verabos.wordpress.com<\/a> )<\/figcaption><\/figure>Joskus kaverit ja kollegat kyselev\u00e4t – ihan perustellusti –  miksi minulla on harrastus joka on aika erikoinen ja ajoittain melkoisen vaativa. Jatkossa aion h\u00f6yst\u00e4\u00e4 vastaukseni yll\u00e4olevalla Veran<\/a> ottamalla kuvalla. T\u00e4m\u00e4n. T\u00e4llaisten hetkien, jolloin huomaa puuhastelevansa kuin toisessa ajassa. Hetkin\u00e4, jolloin unohtaa maailmantuskan ja voi el\u00e4\u00e4 vain siin\u00e4 mit\u00e4 tekee. On samalla yst\u00e4vien ja savun ymp\u00e4r\u00f6im\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Kuva on viime viikonlopulta Ronneburgin linnasta Saksassa, jossa olimme kutsuttuina MiM:n t<\/a>apahtumaan 100 Jahre 14tes Jahrhundert (Vapaasti k\u00e4\u00e4nnettyn\u00e4 100 vuotta 1300-lukua.) Oli ilo tulla kutsutuksi taas!<\/p>\n

Ronneburgissa<\/a> oli noin 80 1300-luvun harrastajaa ymp\u00e4ri Eurooppaa – ihmisi\u00e4 oli yhteens\u00e4 viidest\u00e4 maasta. Iloinen Joutsen edusti Suomea seitsem\u00e4n hengen joukkueella.<\/p>\n

Sometimes friends and colleagues ask – kind of understandalbly, really- why do I have this rare and sometimes very demanding hobby. From now on, I’ll just answer them with the picure above (taken by the talented  Vera<\/a> Bos). THIS. Moments like this where you feel you are working on stuff but transported to a different time. Moments where you forget what is wrong with the world in 2015 and just live in the moment. Surrounded by friends and usually smoke. <\/em><\/p>\n

The picture was taken last weekend In Ronneburg castle in Germany, where we were invited to MiM<\/a>’s event 100 Jahre 14tes Jahrhundert (liberally translated as a 100 years of 14th century) . What a joy it was to be invited again. <\/em><\/p>\n

This time, Ronneburg hosted about 80 14th century aficionados\/nerds\/re-enactors from around Europe. People had travelled from five different countries and we were a group of 7 people from Finland: <\/em><\/p>\n

Photo: MiM<\/figcaption><\/figure>Otin itse aika v\u00e4h\u00e4n kuvia, koska en mielest\u00e4ni ehtinyt. Olen siksi k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt t\u00e4ss\u00e4 Iloisen Joutsenen yhteisk\u00e4ytt\u00f6kameran kuvia ja tapahtumaj\u00e4rjest\u00e4jien kuvia.<\/p>\n

Haluaisin kuitenkin n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 teille ihan kaiken mit\u00e4 tapahtumassa oli ja tapahtui! Kivoja kuvagallerioita on onneksi Facebookissa, esim t\u00e4m\u00e4 Thorstenin<\/a> tai Mervin<\/a> tai luxemburgilaisen Apri Ludibundin<\/a> tai Blidenbauerien<\/a><\/p>\n

Kuvista v\u00e4littyy kauneus ja kivuus, mutta ei ehk\u00e4 sit\u00e4 miten kuuma viikonloppuna oli! L\u00e4mp\u00f6tila huiteli kolmessakymmeness\u00e4 ja sunnuntaina se nousi 34:\u00e4n asteeseen! Ett\u00e4 sik\u00e4li jos ihmettelette kuinka huitelen pelk\u00e4ss\u00e4 mekossa ilman esim p\u00e4\u00e4llysmekkoa.  Ja launtain pidoilla uskaliaassa huntutyyliss\u00e4 ilman leukalinaa ja hiuksetkin hieman n\u00e4kyvill\u00e4! Se on n\u00e4iss\u00e4 linnareissuissa kiva, ett\u00e4 voi k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4  hienompia asusteitaankin joskus.<\/p>\n

****<\/p>\n

I failed at taking pictures myself (thinking I was too busy), so I’m using other people’s photos and mainly ones from Merry Swans shared use-camera (Mervi’s) . <\/em><\/p>\n

I want to show you everything and every detail that was!! But luckily  there are some really nice open galleries on facebook for everyone to see: Thorsten<\/a>’s , Mervi<\/a>’s, or the luxemburgian group Apri Ludibundi<\/a>’s. Or the Blidenbauers<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

The pictures show and tell what fun and how pretty everything was, but they don’t show how HOT it was! The temperature was around 30 degrees celsius and on sunday it went up to a crazy 34! (93 in Fahrenheit). So just in case you were wondering why I’m hanging out in just a dress (sans overdress) in the pictures. And on Saturday I even went out in a scandalous fashionable headdress, without my wimple and showing some hair! It was fun to wear my headband. The nice thing about castles is that it feels like a suitable occasion to wear one’s finest accessories. <\/em>

Paras paikka Ronneburgissa on sen keitti\u00f6. Linnan keitti\u00f6ss\u00e4 valmistetaan tapahtuman kaikki ateriat. Upea keitti\u00f6porukka teki hienoa ty\u00f6t\u00e4 sy\u00f6tt\u00e4ess\u00e4\u00e4n osallistujat. (Ja se on my\u00f6s linnan kuumin paikka, miehenkokoisten halkojen loimutessa liedell\u00e4) Suomalaisista Saara ja Mervi olivat osa varsinaista keitti\u00f6henkil\u00f6kuntaa, mutta me muutkin p\u00e4\u00e4simme hommiin kun oli aika k\u00e4ynnist\u00e4\u00e4 \u00e4llistytt\u00e4v\u00e4 suomalainen piirakkakone! (ta-daa)<\/p>\n

The best place in Ronneburg is the kitchen. All the meals for the event are cooked there, on open fire and in the oven. The wonderful kitchen crew did an amazing job in (over)feeding the attendees. The kitchen is also the hottest place in the castle, with man-sized logs flaming away on the hearth. Of the finns Mervi and Saara were the ones in the actual kitchen staff, but the rest of us got in on some of the kitchen action when it was time to demonstrate the astonishing finnish pie machine ™ <\/em>
\n \"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

T\u00e4ss\u00e4 piirakkakone t\u00e4ydess\u00e4 ty\u00f6ss\u00e4. Valmistimme noin 60 pient\u00e4 piirakkaa reseptill\u00e4, jonka saimme Mervin kanssa Middelaldercentretiss\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4stess\u00e4mme siell\u00e4 leipomaan keskuksen isossa uunissa (t\u00e4st\u00e4 lis\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6hemmin). Pikku kippojen avulla leivotut suolaiset piiraat ovat \u00e4lytt\u00f6m\u00e4n herkullisia – erityisen mehukkaita niist\u00e4 tekee Tanskassa lennosta reseptiin ideoitu tuore luumu. Resepti tullee varmaan jossain vaiheessa jakoon, se ei ole erityisen monimutkainen.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Here you can see the pie machine (+one added dutch pie machine) in action. We baked about 60 small pies with a recipe me and Mervi got when we were cooking at Middelaldercentret in Denmark earlier last month (that’s still coming up here on the blog). The tasty pies are baked using little wooden bowls and are a meal in themselves. A secret ingredient that makes them very ummm.. juicy is the fresh plums we spontaneously thought of adding because they were in season in Denmark. The recipe itself is fairly simple and it will be shared sometime soon.   <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ja sitten k\u00e4ss\u00e4\u00e4! Tapahtuman idea on yksinkertainen: ihmiset tekev\u00e4t keskiaikaisia hommia ymp\u00e4ri linnaa. Ruoanlaiton lis\u00e4ksi linnalla mm. tehd\u00e4\u00e4n k\u00e4sit\u00f6it\u00e4, v\u00e4rj\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n kankaita, ammutaan jousella ja mustaruutiaseilla. Yleis\u00f6 p\u00e4\u00e4see katselemaan ja kyselem\u00e4\u00e4n tekij\u00f6it\u00e4.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

And then some crafts! The idea of the event is beautifully simple: people doing medieval stuff all over the castle. So besides the cooking, the public had a chance to look at (just to name a few things) various crafts, archery, handgonnes, dyeing fabric and a pharmacy!<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

K\u00e4sit\u00f6it\u00e4 ja oleilua pihalla (jossa oli kuumempaa kuin sis\u00e4ll\u00e4)<\/p>\n

Crafts and hanging out out in the yard – where it was a lot warmer than inside<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Constantinin \u00e4lytt\u00f6m\u00e4n hieno p\u00f6yt\u00e4, jossa oli esill\u00e4 sek\u00e4 ty\u00f6kaluja ett\u00e4 valmiita t\u00f6it\u00e4!<\/p>\n

Constantin’s lovely display table with tools and finished items! <\/em><\/p>\n

Vaatteiden ompelussa yleis\u00f6n\u00e4yt\u00f6ksen\u00e4 on v\u00e4h\u00e4n se ongelma, ettei se ole erityisen _n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4_. Se n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 t\u00e4lt\u00e4:<\/p>\n

The thing with making clothes as a public display has it’s issues. The end result is showy, but the process it not. It looks like this: <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ja se n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 t\u00e4lt\u00e4. Lopputuloshan on varsin n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4, mutta itse ompelu ”tadaa! t\u00e4ss\u00e4 ompelen yht\u00e4 miljoonasta pistosta, joita t\u00e4h\u00e4n tulee” ei ole kovin showhenkist\u00e4. Yrit\u00e4n kyll\u00e4 levitell\u00e4 ty\u00f6v\u00e4lineit\u00e4ni ymp\u00e4rilleni niin, ett\u00e4 yleis\u00f6 voisi katsella niit\u00e4. Mutta mietin kuitenkin koko ajan mill\u00e4 tavoin tekisi hommasta yleis\u00f6yst\u00e4v\u00e4llisemp\u00e4\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Yleisin juttu mit\u00e4 yleis\u00f6 toteaa vieress\u00e4ni on ”Aaaa, niin, katsos, silloin ei ollut ompelukoneita!” ja ”Silloin ommeltiin k\u00e4sin.” T\u00e4rkeit\u00e4 ja keskeisi\u00e4 havaintoja molemmat!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

And again like this. There is not a lot of Ta-dah in ”here is one of the million stitches that go into this item”. I do try to spread my sewing kit around so that people do see them. But I constantly think of improving my display. Some way. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Loppuun pari p\u00f6lj\u00e4ilypotrettia. N\u00e4m\u00e4 ihmiset!!! <3 <3<\/p>\n

And to finish off, a few pictures of posing and fooling around for the camera! These people! <3<3<\/em><\/p>\n
