Castles are so much better to explore than houses just for the little boy inside of me that likes the sense of history and fighting.<br /><br />kimmiekat - thanks for passing by.<br /><br />auntiegwen - I think she forgot, but then again mums should never forget important dates like that.<br /><br />Lerm - Thanks for the compliment, when there is more pics I will post them.

Daughter did one of those Easter Trails which kept her amused for a while and netted yet another Easter Egg!<BR/><BR/>I think NT properties have an absence of litter bins on purpose so that people take their litter home and then they don't suffer from overflowing bins (I think someone told me that at Chirk Castle once - now that's a place to visit - a proper traditional Castle). It also irritates me when people don't take it home, it's not that difficult!!Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294634249437687028.post-22177174975598735312009-04-13T05:24:00.000-07:002009-04-13T05:24:00.000-07:00Nah-keep those pics coming!

Thats one thing ...Wow what a fabulous old building. Thats one thing about Australia we simply do not have such wonderful old buildings to visit. When I was in England visiting I was in my element - Im sure my husband got sick of me asking about the history of every old building. In fact at one stage he stated "Look in England the buildings are just old - they don't all have a special purpose"!!!! I did enjoy being around such history though.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237061502041133837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294634249437687028.post-46833990496860430752009-04-13T00:21:00.000-07:002009-04-13T00:21:00.000-07:00Thanks for the comments, we never take it for gran...Thanks for the comments, we never take it for granted as a lot of people work very hard to keep these places running. This year we are trying to get to more places on day trips due to money so to only have to travel for 1-2 hours is not really a problem. Sometimes it's hard not to take it for granted with so many fabulous places to visit at least we can never say there is nowhere to go.mr-stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989666907398725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294634249437687028.post-15884413055693671252009-04-13T00:13:00.000-07:002009-04-13T00:13:00.000-07:00What a fab day.

I love the sense of history you get from looking around in the UK. It's great that you and your family enjoy it and don't take it for granted. PS Your photos don't bore me, I enlarge every single one to get a good look.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519427492100090401noreply@blogger.com
