The Castle

[ClayDeath]

I see.

I never watched any of the harry potter movies. I should have at least read the book.

I keep meaning to read it.

 

[ClayDeath]

ok now I see what you guys are talking about. I just saw this painting of Hogwarts castle on the net:

I haven't read any of the books either. We had one in the house once but it was the size of a brick and I couldn't be bothered starting it. I saw the first couple of films and they were OK.

I promised my niece that I will read at least one harry potter book.

when I was small about 4 or 5 I was into jigsaws, one I did was Scooby-doo and the gang all walking towards a massive spooky gothic castle with bats and stormclouds etc...

and..erm, a big castle shaped castle.

welcome to the castle jesuslookslikeborg.



I have been fascinated with castles ever since I was 6 or 7 years old. I always wanted to live in one.

that is clearly not happening.

nadal`s inability to return serve will be his undoing on the hard courts this season. I cant see him getting any titles on the hard courts for the remainder of the season.

I am pretty sure he will get brutalized tomorrow.

nole is going to have be really off tomorrow for nadal to get by him. and on nadal`s side of the ledger, he will have to play a clean match with very few errors.

cincy picture is not any better either. those courts are even faster than the courts in montreal.


the only silver lining I see at the moment is that nadal is racking up points if that means anything at this point.

I have a cousin who became the first one in the family to own a real castle in france.

he has turned it into a bed and breakfast type of a deal.

he managed to marry a very wealthy French woman.

Lord Bute owned two castles...

Cardiff Castle,

and Castell Coch

 

[ClayDeath]

that Cardiff castle looks nuclear proof.


rock solid and beautiful. stunning architecture.

baron have you come across any magnificent castles in Australia?

baron have you come across any magnificent castles in Australia?

None so far mate. Australia is lacking in Castlecular fortitude.

 

[ClayDeath]

did you ever manage to sneak a freebie stay ??..must be a bit expensive, maybe the worlds most expensive b and b.

I have yet to see his castle.


i plan to post the pictures of his castle here when i find out more about it.



my brother is going to Europe in a few months. he and his wife will be staying at that castle. we will have plenty of pictures to see then.




it can't be that expensive to spend a night at a castle. i am sure there are many castles there now that have been turned into bed and breakfast. i bet you can stay at one for about $300 a night. probably depends on the castle.

this one is in Germany. what a view from this castle:
