I suffered from severe cultureshock today.  After spending the last couple of days embroiled in the late medieval period, I've had to switch hats and make a swift return to 20th century weapons manufacture.  From black powder to guncotton in the blink of an eye.  No wonder I feel a bit spaced out.

I've almost caught up with myself, but I'll be going to the Writers' Group tonight and I still haven't printed out my piece for dissection.  So I'd better go and get on with it, hadn't I?

Sorry about the disruption.  I'll try and get back to my regular posts in the very near future.  I've decided on a new feature for 2011 - I'm going to have a Castle of the Month!  It'll be a great excuse to go and seek out local castles and tower-houses, particularly the more obscure ones which you probably won't be familiar with.

It's 6.30 now, so I'd better go...

Ooo, Castle of the Month! I can't wait!

I sure wish this stuff was in my backyard. Being eight time zones away from anything cool is less than optimal.

Oh dear. You're going to be so disappointed when I post a photo of a big heap of stones and say, 'This is blah, blah, blah,' and such and such used to live here.

I'll try not to feature too many heaps of stones... I'll try to find some NICE castles.

Though we do have plenty of grotty ones round here.

I dunno - I geek out pretty easily. Especially since one of my favoritest sites of all time has a good portion of piles of stones that are awesome in their own way.

That was a kick-ass castle! I must put that one on my list. The gatehouse reminded me of Criccieth...

Castle of the month would be nice if you have time to indulge us!! Heaps of stones to proper castles would be fine ;)

It's a good excuse to fit in a jaunt or two...
