Bodium is interesting, have you been there ? The insides were destroyed by Cromwell to prevent it being used as defence but unusually they did not destroy the walls. It is quite a small castle I think principally to protect the lord and his family rather than local people. I like the emotive feeling of those old buildings to imagine who stood where I am standing in the past.
Thanks for your message Irene. I always enjoy visiting your albums. I've been fascinated by your blipfoto site with the addition of a daily diary... I think it's a great idea and I've noticed your photos get a great deal of hits there. It seems like a very good idea and it's nice to see your blipfoto pictures here too.
Happy New Year to you too dear friend...Sorry that I haven't been around much here in Fotki, I thought I would have some free time this winter but it's been a very busy time instead. Thank you so much for your lovely Xmas card and for thinking of me. Hugs, Laura
