You've really got into the spirit of silliness here
I too am mostly devoid of envy
Life's good:<3:

I hope I fit in the spirit of sillyness here.:)

And I hope we have no in the wilderness free living crocodiles in Germany !
I don`t like crocoldiles. They are so snappish.....

I love crocodiles and alligators

It does, but the pointy turrets are the giveaway. British castles rarely have them. Ours tend to have flat tops to the towers with crenellations.

This is Bodiam Castle near us and is fairly typical of our castles with a particularly well preserved moat.

The German castles were Disney's inspiration for Cinderella's castle I believe.

One of our more unusual Welsh Castles - Castell Coch (Red Castle)

Castell Coch was built in the 19th Century. It's not a traditional Norman castle like Caernarfon for example :)

It is a more European design :)
Definitely more modern than the majority of our castles!!
but built on the foundations of an older 13th Century castle in a Gothic Revival style
Rebuilt by the 3rd Marquess of Bute.
We've always called it the Fairy Castle and use the woods around it for camp craft in Outdoor Ed.
It is really pretty inside.

Good evening Lyn.

I don`t know much about castles. Only that there is always a nasty ghost:eek: wo lives there and don`t like visitors.:(
And it`s pretty cold in those castles because the central heating is always out of order.:D
So I decided to own no castle.;)
With the ghost I might deal with , but not with a desolate central heating.:D

No ghosts in the Cold Dark Room
But no central heating, either:)

For the past couple weeks I've been working on castle jigsaw puzzles on my Kindle. The castles are just absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The only thing was they never said anything about them - where they are, etc. You have to sort of daydream as you look at those lovely pictures. What would it be like to live there, etc. It would be like living in a big hotel, just you and your family, no other people. What would you need all those rooms for? Yeah, you have help, but still, they're way too big.
