ThanX very much! ThanX also for the "Collect"! That's exactly the feeling I wanted to evoke! If you know Val McDirmid, of "Wire in the Blood" fame, she lives in our village and she wanted to buy a copy of it! ThanX again! Cheers!

ThanX! The castle where these stairs are is fantastic! It is really unusual, random and cluttered, but brilliant! There are about 10 Castles within 10 miles of my house! Cheers!

Its the most randomly arranged castle I have ever seen! It has mountains of disparate stuff piled here and there. with some rooms set out more conventionally! There are about 10 castles within 10 miles of my house and this is my favourite! Its owned my an eccentric nobleman Sir Humphrey! I'll put some more images up later. There is one in my Gallery of a huntsmans coat and top hat! Cheers!
