[Bryn-gwlad] Candlemas Costume planning

[Sunny Briscoe]

True, but when the Norse people did all the stuff that made them so famous,
it is refered to as the Viking Age (I am assuming that "they" meant the
period that people when viking).

I had meant to be very careful to refer to the Norse people as such and not
as Viking, as I understand that it was a job (or past time maybe?)

Please forgive me if I offended, as none was meant.
