I capture the castle…

Wednesday, August 27, 2014

Today was one of those days that I totally take for granted.  Not only did I get to sleep in, have pumpkin coffee (yay, leftover pumpkin spice VIA from last fall), play Pottermore (cos I'm a nerd… if you're a nerd, too, go ahead and friend me… Silverglow31111), it was one of those days that I was able to call a friend and say, "Hey, want to go to the castle this afternoon?" and her response was, "Sure, which one?"

Is this real life?  We live in a place where there is more than one castle in close radius?  

YES!  It's true.  And the castle is totally real.  I climbed all over it!  

… and if you've never read the book "I Capture the Castle" by Dodie Smith, I highly recommend it!

    1. Lol… it wouldn't be the first castle climb in heels! These were easy! Maybe the hippy dippiness of it made it easier!

  5. That does sound like a great day! I can't believe you climbed the castle. There is only one where I live, Gilettes, and I have not been in years.
