I was at the bar the other night with my buddy having some beers. We had been there a while when two large girls came up to the bar and ordered some drinks. I noticed when they ordered they both had strong accents so I said ‘Hi, are you two girls from Scotland?’ One of them spoke up, with an attitude and said ‘it’s WALES you idiot!!!’
So I immediately said ‘Sorry, are you two Whales from Scotland?’
It’s the last thing I remember.

Looking at these pictures, one can hear the lyrics of Men of Harlech wafting through the air. Songs and castles, what could be more Welsh? or is it Welch? Jones, most probably.
To: Renfield
I am surprised
Pencoed did not make the list. It is the only Tudor castle and built by the Morgans who translated the Bible into Welsh. This saved the Welsh language. Daniel Boon was a descendent of the Morgans.

We visited Wales many years ago, in the 1970s, and saw most of those castles. Also the countryside, which is absolutely beautiful—mountains, forests, lakes, meadows, beaches.
Back then, they had no guardrails or anything, and tourists were free to wander around the tops of the castles. We took our kids up with us, and everyone had a fine time. No one fell over the edges.
The way things are going, I kind of doubt that they would still let visitors wander about freely like that.

This reminds me of a book you all must read. The author is Ms. Crow who wrote the book 'Glastenbury'. Very interesting about early Christianity in England from the Druids and the Roman Empire to Henry XIII. A lot of battles in that time period.

Has Obama picked out the sites for his castles yet? For sure, one in Chicago.

Always wished I had a great fortune to completely restore a castle to its original state.
Wonder how much money it would take.
A related fantasy is to magically restore great structures like the Coliseum.

Thanks Renfield. One of those belonged to some purported ancestors of mine. I'm content being descended from a long line of farmers, all the way back to the birth of agriculture. :')
