Took time out yesterday for a seven mile walk and a visit to @nationaltrust.org.uk Castle Drogo. What a fantastic building! Beautiful interior. And a link with Wadhurst, where Jim went to school! Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in early 1900s.

A photo of an enormous brass tap on a wooden countertop with large cut stone blocks behind. On the countertop stood sideways with head tilted to look at the verdegris tinged spout, is a tiny cradled sylvanian black cat baby in a long green wrap with high collar. It's Reggie!
Big tap!
It's shiny so it's treasure

A low shot across an ornately set table with cut glass and gold gilt goblet, silver cutlery and a curved drinking horn trimmed with silver and resting on a stand that's a miniature figure bowed under the weight of its burden. In the foreground, posing for a selfie, is a tiny cradled sylvanian black cat baby in a long green wrap with high collar. It's Reggie!
More castle shinies!

A landscape view of rolling hills seen from a high view. In the foreground are two pine trees providing scale. The midground shows the ground far below, faded with russet tones with winter trees faintly green with a blur of indistinct new growth. Ivy and conifers in dark green mark the structures of tree trunks, while a hedge climbing a hill completes a bowl shaped curve to this section. The far distance is split in two, the closer section green harlequin fields with patches of mixed woodland while the far distance is a patchwork of fields and woodland leading to the sun dappled heath and moorland of Exmoor. In front of it all is the blurred shape of a tiny cradled sylvanian black cat baby in a long green wrap with high collar. It's Reggie!
We are high up and can see so far! It makes huge trees look as tiny as me!
I think of all the shiny and nice things waiting to be found

Morning Blueskyers. Have a marvellous Monday. Some photos from #CastleDrogo on Saturday for a timeline cleanse.
Julius Drewe should have inherited an ancestral home from the Norman Baron Drogo de Teign - so he built himself his own castle (started 1911, completed 1931) which was the last castle to have been built in England. Perfect fortification come the Zombie Apocalypse ๐คฃ #castledrogo
