Just a few people about, examining the ruins. DO people come from far and wide to visit the castle, or is it just a haunt for locals?

I know one person who came from Germany to visit it.

Of course
How forgetful of me.

It’s hard to say how many people travel but I’m sure many do.

Lovely shot DA.    I think this is the first evening shot of the castle I've seen as most of your previous shots have been in the mornings (or so I thought).

Probably.  It even has its own website, as l guess you know

Im much more of a morning person but do sometimes end up having to do my daily walk in the evenings.

Ah yes,  I knew that one,  I thought you meant a site dedicated just to it.

Nice shot.

Maybe you should host one

You wont be Squire Hadleigh just yet, then

Id have to move there first for that.

That Gerald Harper has let the place go a bit since the 1970's

I must be dumb today as I don’t get the reference.

Before your time, I expect. Gerald Harper was the star of an adventure series, called Hadleigh.

I even missed that by googling his name.

No doubt about having to be flexible with daily routines.  

I'm going to pick up the materials today to put up a replacement fence that got destroyed in the winds.  Think I'm going to use vinyl vice wood as it lasts much longer and takes less annual maintenance.  Something like this I think:

That does look nice but isn’t there a shortage of materials at the moment.

That was a lot of viewers back then.   Series 1 started before I was born.  

Miserable out here today.  Gusts up to 32mph.

Yes it was all the rage back then.  Classic line that always stuck with me:
"Will you take the Rolls to go shopping darling?"
"No, I'll just take the runabout"

The runabout was a Triumph Stag covertible - a car I coveted at the time and never did own

That quote rings a bell.  

I didn’t have a stage but I did have a mk3 spitfire.

I ordered all the required supplies from my local hardware store and got a confirmation email saying all items were ready for pick up.  Hope I don't get a surprise when I show up to pick the items up.

By the time I could afford a sports car, we had a young family, so two-seaters were out of the question.
I had such things as the Rover 2000, then a Triumph Dolomite Sprint, and eventually a Ford Granada Ghia.
But I've mellowed now and realised that my hot-rod days are behind me

That’s good.  If we have a little storm here the suppliers run out of fences in minutes.

As a kid I really liked the Rover 2000.  I’ve not out grown fast cars yet.

Seems the hot commodity these days are portable generators.  A guy was caught trying to sell some at jacked up prices and take advantage of people most in need.  The State Attorney stepped in to prevent price gouging.

I had a kid ask me last night what the car was under the cover on my driveway,  I excitedly told him it was a Focus,    and he just slumped,  groaned and wondered off.    Before I put the cover on it Ive actually had people stop and ask if they could photograph it.
