the Viking Hovel

8/2/2016

At Fishing Point, across the small parking lot at the lighthouse, there was also a low Viking-style building of rough stone with a sod roof. I thought it would be perfect as my Fantasy family's 'home'. Sure it had glass windows, but who cares? The dolls are Fantasy characters, so glass was okay.

So, off came everyone's cloaks, and most of their weapons, after all they didn't need to be
quite so armed at home, and cloaks would only get in the way as they did their chores...

It was very windy.

I LOVE this set of photos!!! That hut is a perfect backdrop for this group. And clever you getting it to be the 'right' size for them too!

I think I will just look at these photos again before catching up on your other posts.

It would have been nice to be able to get closer to the building, but all the photos were taken from the wooden walkway around it.

In fact, I had really hoped to be able to take some dolls into L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site. It's where they discovered the remains of an ancient Viking settlement, and there's all kinds of reconstructed authentic Viking sod houses. But I wasn't feeling well enough at the time.
