Good morning Grandpa.

Beautiful looking horses ! Indian ponies. I love them !

But where are the tortoises ?

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.

Yes, I think so too !

Had the pleasure of visiting the Neuschwanstein Castle near Munich. I believe that is the one you have in mind.

Did I miss bragging day? I finished preparing my tax return and got it mailed.

That's a major accomplishment! You can be proud, Yvonne!

One of wifey's ex-boyfriends lives in an old Abbey with dozens of rooms. It's impossible to heat and maintain so he has sealed off a section and just lives in a couple of rooms.

Downton Abbey?

 

[Kristoff]

Okay, the motto for today is pride.
I am very proud of:

my house

my ranch and stables

my horses

my aeroplane

my ship

my cars

Your house is in Turkey?

 

[Kristoff]

And I'm very proud of the view from my terrace. Enjoy!


I personally took those photos, and I'm very proud of my skill.

Good morning Lena.

[Kristoff]

I would have said hello, roommates, but I'm too proud for it today.

Hi Sabine

The word we would use in English is "view"

"The view from your terrace..."

I hope you don't mind me saying; I thought you would want to know.

Thank you Linda.
Yes, view sounds much better.
I want to learn. And I want to know.

By the way: How is my written English to your opinion ? Do I make much mistakes ?
