My children on the other hand, some of them (I have five) have never even been to the US, totally take the castles and such for granted. They like them, but none of them get as excited as their mom! Your pictures are beautiful and actually depict the beauty of your subject. Suzanne, I’ve lived in Germany for over 10 years and I still get excited about the castles and even more so over ruins.

Ruined castle. Still live less than 5 miles away from it. The junior school (7-11 years) was next door to the castle. Whenever we went for nature walks it was round the castle. Very boring. I still live less than 5 miles away from the castle. Still boring. I grew up in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. Ruined castle. Still live less than 5 miles away from it.

My DH is from Scotland and I will never forget his aunt and uncle lived next door to a church that was in ruins that was way old. They thought it was nothing but then again -the backyard of there home was dalgety bay scotland. Seeing seals for brekfast was the norm, here in new jersey it can be a little bland at times.

I really did imagine myself in far-off times when I was there - in some castles I swore I could hear the picts outside. Magnificent photos.

I hate to tell you that. But I was young then too, nothing impressed me much. I would be completely different now. Hope you are enjoying your trip! How lucky!
