Pretty!

Side blast blank firers (AKA side venters) are not the most authentic but they can look very cool when the photographer times it well.
This one was taken at The Big Battle of Abbots Bromley - Living History Festival yesterday by Andrew Holl.

Thanks to Gary Main for sending me this picture on Saturday night. Somehow he managed to capture everything from The Big Battle of Abbots Bromley - Living History Festival photography day. There’s me right in the middle at the front!

He sent it with the caption ‘you did this’ - exactly the pick up I needed as I was flagging half way through a challenging weekend running my biggest event ever (about to open to the public on Sunday).

A massive thanks to everyone in this picture who made the event a huge success!

I took a good many pics myself, I will take my time and enjoy going through them in the coming weeks as I try to thank everyone involved. Keep following to see how it all unfolded…
