Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.
I had hoped to film all the outdoor scenes outside, but the weather wasn't helpful, however it was fine but windy yesterday so I managed to get outside to repeat some of the outdoor scenes I had previously tried to do inside and these were much better.
It was great fun to make, but did take a long time which was why I didn't post it before the tournament, and although the basic ideas were there, the story developed as I took the photos.
I am sorry I havent included Ninian in the pictures, I didn't know he excisted.
Actually until yesterday he didn't
When Andrew L mentioned using the name Ninian I thought I would find someone for that name.
The outdoor pictures are amazing btw...although I did get a bit nervous when I saw how far the boat was already in the water :-)
Yeah, that made me cringe, too. I was hoping you had a string tied to it or something to keep it from going astray. I don't think I could put my playmobil in real water like that. (As opposed to fake water 
)
Actually it was a large rock pool near the sea, the tide was coming in too fast and it was too windy to put it in the sea. I have sailed the ship there before, but this time it was too shallow and although I tried to get the ship to float it just stayed put
however the wind did catch the sails so that helped to make it look as though it was moving. I had to move it further away by hand for the distance scenes, and the water didn't even come over my croc wellies this time
I love the romance in the story. I'm anxiously awaiting the conclusion... 
I have an idea for an outcome, but it is dependent on the results of the tournament, so watch this space!
