Unfortunately I've injured my wrist since then...it's getting better, thankfully. :) But the weather would have made another such paddle unlikely. We having the same winds here on the east coast. Soon...we hope. I'll send you a note. Warmest wishes from us both.

The "child" within me gets excited thinking about what life must have been like, centuries ago, when such places bustled with activity. Castles are rather magical...I think for folks at all ages. :) Good to hear from you. Warm wishes.

When I was young, the idea of coming upon an ancient castle would give me goose pimples - it still does! :>) Thank you for the reminder that mystery still exists, and that it's OK to get goose pimples at the thought of all the stories the castle walls could tell!
