If I hadn't been so impatient I would probably have gone for that. Never mind, I am sure this one will start me off nicely. We are going up to Hunstanton Fri night - Saturday. We have family up there so like to visit from time to time. |

We look forward to seeing the pics from Norfolk . Say Hi to Castle Rising Castle as you pass ( a special place in our family) |

The important thing about it is that is was built by a William d'Albini who married Adeliza de Louvain ( Henry !st's second wife) and my wife and daughter are direct descendants of them. He was the one who also built the first stone keep at Arundel Castle. Me? I know my place. |
