Since you've all been so nice lately...

...I thought I'd just invite you over for supper. Of course, it's nothing special, just the family, so you'll have to take pot luck......and after supper we'll adjourn to the smoking room, at least those of you who are smokers. The gentleman over the window is the patron saint of smoking, Sir Walter Raleigh. He's said to have thrown his cloak down for a queen to walk on - she'd have done the world a great favor if she'd stomped on his pipe instead....And if you'd like to stay the night you're welcome, there's always lots of room....

If wishes were horses, we'd all be riding. So I have to confess, these comfortable looking rooms are not my place. Emboldened by how well the interior shots of the Legislature turned out a few days ago, I thought I'd try some more interiors et voila! These are some of the rooms at Craigdarroch Castle here in Victoria. I posted a photo of the exterior of this castle almost a year ago and since the grounds are currently undergoing extensive excavations and landscaping, I won't post another. Click here to see last year's photo.

Great photos... I haven't been there in yonks. It looks much better than I remember it. Much, much better!

I love Craigdarroch Castle. I've seen some amazing 'interactive' plays there. The deep saturated colours of each room really come out in your photos.

Ahha, who wouldn't want to be in that place.... Well, if I managed to get a place like that ever in my life, I'd definitely invite you Benjamin, just cuz you shared such a beautiful picture!
