    The odd (= weird) and the excellent.

    Here are two attempts to make a castle:

    One is a solo effort by an American - I have no idea what he is trying to achieve except to scratch some itch in his mind. I am amazed it has not been shut down from a safety perspective - allowing kids up to th top of this folly is sheer folly. He has no background, I think, in structural building engineering, architectural integrity, structural integrity or safety standards - but it is on his own property and people visit - he can't charge and he cannot get insurance. It has been a herculean lifetime work, but I don't know...it really is just a fantasy castle with zero architectural merit, inspired no doubt by Disney interpretations of castles


    Now, on the other hand, this is fascinating - really want to visit this. A brand new medieval castle built as it would have been built in medieval times using almost nothing but what is available locally - a true medieval castle built with medieval tools but built in modern times:

    Watched a series on BBC which followed the building of that medieval castle on BBC called Secrets Of The Castle. Found it fascinating. Was on iplayer but sadly does no longer appear to be on there.

    That is the one. Remember Ruth Goodman being in it as she now appears in a couple of programmes about food production as well as other history programmes and one about the history of the railways.
    Well worth a look for anyone interested in that sort of thing.

    My dad always reckoned Yanks were thick. Always claimed in the war when he was in the navy a Yank sailor asked what a lert was as they were about to go on one.

    Was there a voice over?
    I wasn’t selected to be saved in a crisis so never got alerted at all.
