Dark, mossy, eroded, rich in detail and so moody! Is that carved wood in the eaves?

It is when you consider every castle, Abbey, Monestary etc in Europe are built almost entirely of stone which was quarried, dressed and then placed within these structures entirely by human toil. You tell the young ones today and they don't believe you!

Alas! Most young people today have not spent a summer's day building forts of mud and stone, as I and my friends did in the 60's, and 70's. I made sure my own kids did!

They miss out on such a lot though I suspect that they wouldn't agree.
