I'm the King of the Castle
Today was a quiet day with Jack, near to our house. A picnic in the warm sunshine at the harbour. A trip to see the seals at our local park and then a visit to the ruined royal castle (also in our local park). Please forgive me if I don't have time to comment on your photos at present, as I am mainly downloading photos so Jack's family back home in England can see what fun we are having. We are all collapsing into bed around 10 p.m at present.
The castle was one of the first to be built specifically to withstand cannon-fire. Oliver Cromwell was well on his way to destroying the weakest parts of it with his guns, when he was called away. Fortunately the strong part (with 13 foot thick rounded walls) remained.
