I...Vino being imbibed as I type...just for you two.<br />I glad you are enjoying Spain, vicariously anyway. I saw the trailers for the Castle program and would have watched them, we have followed all of the previous outings by Ruth and Peter in their 'life on, Victorian/Edwardian farms etc. Re crusader castles, they may well have influenced how the Barons built or amended/embellished castles in Gt. Britain but they were building them long before the Crusades started; the Pope's of Rome very own Jihads.. <br />I do hope GCHQ don't find anything to interst them in the use of the dreaded word...<br />See you both somewhere on the cut<br />X LesleyNb Yarwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806115768980012184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490581806872830289.post-21287309331536361442014-12-28T10:47:17.447+00:002014-12-28T10:47:17.447+00:00I love this post in particular.

We are happy you and Joe escaped the cold (it was below freezing last night) and are hanging out and enjoying not only the weather but the local sites. The ammo for the siege engine (trebuchet) is quite daunting to see piled up like that. We've been watching the BBC's Secrets of the Castle wherein three archeologist's/historians are living in France at the modern site of a castle being built using only medieval methods. It's fascinating how thick the walls are and how building castles in this country came from the castles built by the moors and the Spanish during the Crusades. Eat some olives for me and lift a glass of vino for Les!!<br />JaqXXMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.com
