Playboy Mansion

We had granddaughter Amelia overnight and as a treat instead of taking her to pre-school this afternoon we headed to Raglan Farm Park, just before midday, which she loves; it's a kids play indoor and outdoor play area and farm with animals. With the temperature about 33C, even she'd had enough so we headed to nearby Raglan Castle and got there about 3pm.

There was a falconry display not long after we arrived and I took the blipfoto whilst waiting for the start. This weeks W-I-D-E on Wednesday Challenge has the theme 'house or houses'. The Falconry chap was giving some history of the castle and described it as a Playboy Mansion - indeed it is more a fortified house than an outright castle. The history is here for those interested and it does say it was a manor house with gardens and pod between 12-14th centuries.

Amelia's mum met us about outside the 'castle' to collect her where we were sat having a picnic.

Getting home our fencers had finished but we had a couple of hours tidying up. After al we've done today I'm shattered!
