The castle is closed but the park is accessible. It's a smashing area.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-18054221810425142652011-11-26T21:56:04.479+00:002011-11-26T21:56:04.479+00:00If they weren't white Adrian then the Red Hand...If they weren't white Adrian then the Red Hand of Chirk at their apex wouldn't be so obvious. Just a thought. I was there in the summer with CJ and Jo.

I presume it is still made in small quantities somewhere.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-81311904365048127532011-11-26T13:20:24.174+00:002011-11-26T13:20:24.174+00:00A lovely pair of gates.

Fascinating to watch such craftsmen at work.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-18467753478853139032011-11-26T13:10:15.208+00:002011-11-26T13:10:15.208+00:00Annie, the Welsh are famous for slate.

When the fence is this posh it's called a frieze. I cheated on the last one I lit it with my head torch.<br /><br />Laura, I suspect I'll be here for a day or so. There is much magic to be seen.<br /><br />Bob, I'm sure they are honoured. <br /><br />Norma, thanks, hope you recover soon.<br /><br />Horst, we are spoilt in this country. I'm lucky indeed.<br /><br />JoLynne, Wales is well worth a visit. For a small country the UK has plenty of variety.<br /><br />DeeBee, I personally cannot understand a word of what they say. The signs must cost a fortune with everything written twice and the Welsh words being several time longer than anybody elses.<br />I would prefer the gates black and gold. This looks a bit like the undercoat. They should send for a Parisian gate painter.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-9916413075968538262011-11-26T12:46:05.052+00:002011-11-26T12:46:05.052+00:00We shall be in north Wales in just over a weeks ti...We shall be in north Wales in just over a weeks time picking up a piece of slate from a quarry in a place that is unpronounceable!
