You can really see the wood flooring in this picture. It Timeless Designs walnut laminate. What a great look. You can also see the kitchen bar and media/living area.
We are always looking for new places to visit. Once my wife heard that Game of Thrones was filmed on Malta it was not a matter of if, but when we went. We spent the first few days in Valletta, the capitol of Malta, getting our bearings and playing tourist. Valletta is a really nice city with a lot of history and hills - and decent Gelato too!
I took these photos in May 2018.
Kate's new hat looking out over Niderau back in September. Seems like an age away now, especially as the long evenings draw in. Oh well, start saving for next year.......
I found these cool parts. Please see the notes attached. I thought the translucent coloured ones are cool as well as the blue 1x2 plates with a ridge on the front row.

Cooling Castle is a privately owned castle in North Kent and is not open to the public. Only parts of it are visible from the road leading to Cooling Church but this includes the impressive outer gatehouse and one corner tower of the outer bailey.

The castle was built in the troubled 1380-1385 period by John De Cobham, 3rd Baron Cobham. This period also saw the building of Bodiam Castle and the West Gate of Canterbury. While ostensibly built to protect against French raids these defences also served to overawe the local population who had risen in revolt against Richard II in 1381 - the period known at The Peasants Revolt.
Cooling, Bodiam and the Canterbury gatehouse also share many stylistic features including their 'inverted keyhole' gunloops, the earliest dateable gunloops in England. Some gunloops at an abbey on the Isle of Wight may be earlier (1365) but this cannot be confirmed.
The castle was composed of a western inner bailey with strong Bodiam-style stone walls and round towers and an eastern outer bailey surrounded by an earth embankment and round stone corner towers - the whole site being surrounded by a moat or ditch. The moat at the western end is still flooded but is hidden behind modern trees. It is possible that the earth eastern bailey was only topped with a palisade supported by the stone towers.
A later occupant of the castle was Sir John Oldcastle - who had married a Cobham - and who was a supporter of John Wyciiffe and the Lollards. The Lollards were an early form of Protestantism and were regarded as heretics in Catholic England. He was hanged on Christmas Day 1417 and his body was burned to prevent his resurrection on Judgement Day.
In 1554 Sir Thomas Wyatt revolted against Queen Mary and attacked the castle on his advance to London. The current Lord Cobham surrendered Cooling Castle after a siege of only six hours pleading shortage of cannon and lack of support. Wyatt captured Lord Cobham and his two sons and forced them to march with him to London but they managed to escape and went back to Cooling.
The castle was damaged by cannon fire and was never fully repaired. The present house was built around 1670 and is in private hands.
St James' Church at Cooling in North Kent is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It dates from the late 1200s but may replace an earlier Saxon church on the same site. The nave, chancel and the lower part of the tower were built 1280 to 1320AD but the tower did not reach full height until about 1400AD.

Its fame comes from the Victorian period when novelist Charles Dickens lived at nearby Gads Hill. The church is believed to be the inspiration for the churchyard scene in Great Expectations where young Pip meets the convict Magwitch. The 13 child graves near the church door are also believed to be the inspiration for the five graves of Pip's siblings in the same book. These have since become known as 'Pip's Graves'.
Internally the 40-foot long chancel is almost the same length as the 50-foot nave. There is sign of various 19th century restorations while the wooden medieval north door is still hanging on its hinges but the doorway behind is blocked solid. The font is 13th century and probably the oldest item inside the church. The pulpit is made of 18th century material recut in the 19th century. In the chancel the south wall has a sedilia and a rare double piscina. The double piscina dates this area to 1272-1307AD.
A unique feature at Cooling is the vestry wall which is decorated with hundreds of cockle shells. This is probably Victorian and may refer to the scallop shell emblem of St James the Great. An unusual wall memorial on the wall behind the pulpit records the drowning of a seaman who fell overboard off Rio in 1852.

This weekend was dedicated to all things Scottish so there was a lot of plaid and kilts everywhere - and it was a very cold morning too. I spent most of the day just wandering around aimlessly. There are so many great photo ops that I'm very content with that.
I took these photos in mid-November 2016 at the Texas Renaissance Festival in Todd Mission, Texas, about 50 miles NW of Houston. I think this is the largest Renaissance Festival in the USA.
