de from our good friend M. to the castle Ravensberg out of the Teutoburg Forest.
A castle in itself is already a famous place for a birthday celebration, but M. had something quite special: a medieval castle festival it should be! 
Therefore, the course was a fantastic opportunity for us, and never realized this long-cherished plans into action for once. It was not easy to decide! Different online stores Medieval lured us with great selection, especially the medieval shop
and Mittlalter.Net . But after some back and forth and a lot of thinking, we were struggling ourselves to a decision by U. would be a knight Franconia (in the colors of his Catholic, color-bearing, non-beating Connection Frankonia-Czernowitz in the CV of Erlangen robe), while I would do it to me easily and simply appear as his wife, and Miss Knight would. Stylistically we focused on the casual late medieval manuscript "Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry". Therefore had a hat and long sleeves bat for me a must! But also a handy carry case had to be there - large enough to absorb everything that was needed in the Middle Ages by: Sony eReader, mobile phone, digital camera, iPod ...
The drapery met in time with us, fit perfectly from the start und wir konnten es kaum noch erwarten, sie endlich “live” auszuprobieren. U. freute sich besonders darauf, sich des abends in seinen langen schwarzen Umhang zu hüllen und eine drohende Pose einzunehmen, während ich neugierig darauf war, wie ich mit dem langen Kleid und den Flatterärmeln zurechtkommen würde.
Letzten Samstag war es dann endlich soweit und wir machten uns vollbepackt mit mittelalterlichen Klamotten auf den Weg nach Norden. Die Hinfahrt verlief gut und fast wie geplant (mit Ausnahme einer nicht vorgesehenen Umleitung in Bielefeld). Nach einem Schläfchen im Hotel hieß es dann: Gewandung raus! Anziehen!
Und dann ging’s auch schon los. Nach a short bus ride, we climbed the hill to the castle.
After the welcome we presented the birthday child, our gift. Together with our friends U2. and N. We had worried a medieval drinking horn and decorate with our congratulations be.
Then it turned out that we were not just to please you all. A castle tour was announced - Including the ascent of the keep. I must say, climb up the narrow spiral staircase was quite adventurous. Especially if, like me, a bit of vertigo suffers. But the outlook was above all adversity up for that. 
The keep also provided the perfect stage to make themselves immortalized as knights and damsels.
Once back on solid ground, it was martial! Archery has to be learned ... U. was very eager and serious in the matter, but unfortunately he managed only one the hare on the target Piercing spoon to miss. For the roast had to N. . Ensure With a smooth head shot they made sure to eat something came on the table ... at least in theory ... and as long as the rabbit is not moving ... 
Then there was actually food and drink, a not quite medieval buffet with various cold and hot dishes. Later, all sorts of entertainment was offered a chorus of the birthday child is brought some fire jugglers and a serenade us all very impressed.
possible.
