Castle of Park

Castle of Park including two ghosts

I have been lazy and not posted for some time. It could in part be due to the fact I started a new job in September so all my energies have been going into that. But I'm back and I have a new tower. Not quite a perfect tower as we couldn't get out on to the roof but 2 spiral staircases and 4 floors and we had it all to ourselves. We were in heaven.

 

Castle of Park is a fortified tower house set in Dumfries and Galloway which we slept in for four nights. Lots of hide 'n' seek and chase and a monopoly game that went on and on which meant there wasn't quite enough time left to complete the intricate jigsaw that David started just too late. There was also the 'let's turn all the lights off on the stairs and then challenge each other to go up one set and down the other with just a torch while Mum makes spooky noises' game. I was too scared to even contemplate doing the challenge (I had to wake David up to go to the loo with me in the middle of the night) but the children loved it.
