Castle Rising


Castle Rising, originally uploaded by Lú_.

Castle Rising Castle, near King's Lynn, Norfolk, was built in the mid 11th century by my husband's 25th great-grandfather, upon marrying the widow of another 25th great-grandfather. If we'd known that, we might have tried to get there before the gates closed. Not to be forgotten in pre-holiday genealogy homework: looking up the history of every site on your route, just in case.

How beautiFULL and verrry rustic. That stone monument is like 18th century Chardonnay: totally exculpate (free from blame). Bravo! Encore!! God bless you.
