            Ahhh, I thought there was a resemblance :) Actually, I really liked Dunster Castle. Wasn't so keen on bump-starting my B-I-L's Sierra though:gaah:

            Just push it down the slope:snork:

            I took the roof off the castle a few years back, hell of a job, not so much the work as the meetings & risk assesments:doh:

              Great pictures Zigs, it's a long while since I've been there, 23 years in fact! One of my favourite places. A lovely patch of Hellebores there and I like the picture with Willow sitting on the tree. :)

                A bit of sun would have been nice, but the mist added to the atmosphere in the Pet Cemetary, Willow was quoting Stephen King there:yikes: :sofa:

                  Nice photos, Zigs! That's no "little" boy, lol! Those pet plots are interesting. I was looking at the photo trying to figure out if they were just odd flower beds or what, lol.

                  :biggrin: He'll always be my little boy, even if he's the same height as me now.

                  We did have a great day out, nice to see the kids happy. Found an old photo I took from the top of the scaffold when it was up.

                  I've mentioned it before but the National Trust now do a single parent annual membership which is cheaper than the full family membership. We've certainly had good value out of it, not just for the properties but the suprising amount of NT car parks around the coast, saved a lot of dosh:)
