We eventually made our way to the Castle which wasn't really a castle at all but a very large, 3 stories tall brick home, built in 1665, it's the oldest brick home in the USA today actually. Nothing out of the ordinary though as far as looks go but it was interesting to hear about it's lengthy history. The original owner did not live long enough after building started to live in the house (he was 57) but his son did. This was my favorite room and it was in the basement. Before a separate building was added for a kitchen this is where the cooking was done. And because it was cooler in the basement it was also where many food stuffs were stored (there were several rooms in this basement). All the bricks used in the house were made by slaves on the plantation site. This really was an unusual Sunday adventure for Anita and I but we really enjoyed it.

Bacon's Castle, also variously known as "Allen's Brick House" or the "Arthur Allen House" is located in Surry County, Virginia, United States, and is the oldest documented brick dwelling in what is now the United States. Built in 1665, it is noted as an extremely rare example of Jacobean architecture in the New World.
The house became known as "Bacon's Castle" because it was occupied as a fort or "castle" by the followers of Nathaniel Bacon during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. However, contrary to popular folklore, Bacon never lived at Bacon's Castle, nor is he even known to have visited it.
A shot from 2019 but one I never got round to posting at the time. Bacon Hole is a small bay tucked away next to Mupe Bay on the Purbeck coast in Dorset.
I took a photo of an egg commercial on the tv screen then did some Wombo magic on it and finished it in Befunky.

Located along some train tracks and sitting amid a moat of tall grasses and weeds is the old and abandoned Bacon Hotel. It was built by a man named James Bacon way back in 1912 and mostly served timber company officials or traveling salespeople. But the hotel only operated for a few years (which is surprising, with a name like Bacon Hotel you'd think it'd have more customers). The building would then become housing for families who worked on nearby farms, and was occupied until the 1950s. After that it was left vacant and abandoned. In one window is a faded and worn curtain, which occasionally flutters as it catches a breeze through the broken glass.

Bacon suffered a back injury this week -- A slipped disc or a pinched nerve, reckons the vet. Poor little bugger has the be kept in his crate (except for "short leashed walks") for two weeks.
Since he's caged and being fed steroids, Keith suggested we should rename him "Veal".
