Yes, these really are something. That crocodile is a fearsome piece of art.
Btw: Do you know Oxford? I lived there 1975-88 - and my plan when I win the Lottery is to return there to live and see out the rest of my time in that place where I was the happiest.
Oxford is delightful Ray. I love it there. The architecture is amazing. Like Bath. as you can tell I love old buildings.
I know Oxford, studied there. I agree just beautiful. Bath I travelled through on train and thought I must return. Maybe I should start planning that now!
I love your castle. Now for the stupid questions:
Why Merlin?
Where did you first find out about it?
