Hello Rockin' Readers - and everyone else @ the Library

Well, guess where I am? In the land of castles and manor houses. England. Somerset, Devon and Wiltshire to be exact.
We visited the Exmoor National Park two days ago, where we saw a castle built originally to guard the coast from Saxons. Later it was turned into a manor house for a wealthy family. Here's the castle, gate and gatehouse.




Then it was onto Stourhead in Wiltshire. For those adults in the crowd, here's where Mr. Darcy proposed to Elizabeth in the pouring rain in the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice. (At least it's where it was filmed!)


Here's the house and gate, too. Nice place to live, huh?
