Storm Franklin is having a wild party outside...
I am sure this is far windier that Storm Dudley or Storm Eunice.
Creative today. Doing English castles for my American pen friend now.
So, doing another castle today. Corfe Castle. In iPastels.
She is amazed I have been in so many castles. When I was a child or teenager I loved climbing castle walls. A lot of castles then were quite derelict, covered in ivy, and absolutely no safety rails. The ivy has been taken off now, and safety rails put in every possible nook and crevice and high wall...not much fun now.
But my eldest daughter, once when she came to visit me, was disappointed a ruined castle near here was locked up. I came to see inside it, she insisted. Right, hold my bag, she said. And promptly scaled one of the walls, and climbed back down inside.
And I am having kittens watching her!
However that is a moot point for me, as just one step is now the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest for me. But I can have my memories. (I am definitely getting to be this old biddy now aren't I?)
I give you Corfe Castle...
