Might do it this afternoon. Off to a castle for my lunch. Did not know growed ups were allowed on those bouncy things.

It wan't a bouncy one. This is where I was taken for my fathers day lunch. Unfortunately it rained all day. Enjoyable nevertheless.

Very nice Forntiddler.
Come on then, where is it? what did you have to eat?? And what was it like???

It is Culzean Castle in Ayrshire. About 25 miles from where I live. I used to live about 2 miles from the castle when I was between the age of 6 and 12. It has a very large country park with various features. I just had a normal lunch in the restaurant just to the right of that pic I took. You can't see the rain in the pic. Here is a pic I took of the other side of the castle.


President Eisenhower was given a private flat in the castle just after the war. I saw him receive the freedom of the local town when I stayed down there.

There is another castle about 500 yards from where I stay now. It also has a country park of which I stay right on the edge. More important to some of the members here is the fact that the Johnnie Walker bottling plant is only one mile from my house.

Just had a look on the Culzean Castle website, thats some place.
Its look really good inside, there's some good piccy's on their site. Must be nice living near such nice places.

Here is a link to the country park whose perimeter is about 20 yards from my front door. The good thing about this one is that it has two rivers running through two wooded glens and converging near the castle. It is free to everyone.

My inlaws had a place in Maybole, all i can remember about traveling to ayreshire was the god damned average speed cameras, a total nightmare.

Culzean is nice though.

I went to Kirkoswald school and also spent three months at Carrick Academy before I moved to Prestwick. I stayed between Kirkoswald and Maidens. We had a lovely panoramic view of Maidens, Turnberry, Culzean Estate(as it was then)Ailsa Craig and Arran in the distance. Went to the pictures in Maybole. aah! Memories of childhood.

I know. There were no schools to go to. We were that poor the woman next door gave birth to me.

You don't know hard. We were that poor we thought Oliver Twist was a Yuppie.
