Donadea Castle

I love Castles Eileen :) Their so full of Mystrey are`nt they ! :D

aye me too Jacque

Theres a Castle about 2 miles from where i live but u have to pay to get into see it & its Haunted !! Its got a very interesting History :)

here you pay into the forest, but well worth it as it has 640 acres, loads of interesting things there apart from all the walks, like the castle , the lake, ice house

U only get to see the Castle but theres a Woodland near By & a Golf Course to if u like 2play :) U can see some Pics on Google of it Eileen its called Castle Rising in Norfolk & quite Famous!!! :)

:) Maybe someday ucan visit me here & we give the Castle a Visit together Eileen when its Dark & Haunted Wwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooo :) lol

My K went there with his Step Bruv when the Sun was going Down Eileen & they saw a Hooded Figure :O

who is the ghost meant to be Jacque

Mooks I beleive Eileen !! But theres many Storys that r all linked to the Red Mount which is in the Towns Gardens called the Walks :) My Town has some fantastic history on many of its Old Buildings :) Its said there was a Tunnel that lead all the way from the Red Mount Chapel 2 Castle Rising ??? :)

i love stories like that Jacque

:) x

I like the old derilict Castles and buildings to , Jacque I have been to Castle Rising , but in all the years that I have been to Kings Lynn I have never been in ' The walks ' I will have to do that one day ! some friends had a young boy who fell from a conker tree there and died , many years ago ......

OMG Amy is that the Little Boy who fell onto/Close by the Mini Rail line ? i knew his Sister when i went to Whitefrairs School!! :(

Amy, that is so sad

I didn't know them personally Jacque , they were friends of my best friend , I will ask her next time I speak to her ... ..

Very I mpressive Castle Eileen and sounds such an interesting place to explore.
Sad story Amy.

That's really cool, Irish - so they really DO look like the castles you see in the story books! Sometimes I've wondered if they just made up how they looked. But I guess not!

Hi Eileen...Jane here..What is the ice house please ?

its basically a dug out into the ground Jane where they use to keep things fresh yrs ago like meat

Wow...amazing how they preserved stuff in those days.We dont know we are born with fridges and freezers Lol My parents only had our pantry in the 50s too !

pantrys and outside loo's Jane, wouldnt fancy having to use an out side loo in this weather lol

Remember them well Eileen...and that gross stuff called "Izal" that passed as loo paper...ouch !

Bb, my uncle used to insist that my aunt bought that stuff .... right up until just a few years ago !
There was 'his' and 'hers' paper in their house !!!!!!!

(yes, i remember it from school too)

ouch is right lol
somethings from the past are best left in the past i think lol

couldnt even blow your nose on the stuff Louise lol

I know, it was horrendous stuff, ugh :-((

Can you still GET IT ?? Lol...Remember when we ran out there would be strips of newspaper instead ! Those were the days ...lol

lol omg Jane, those were the days indeed, lets leave them there.
good tho wasnt it all the uses for news paper,,,,,, wrap your chips in it, clean windows with it, and as you said emergency loo paper lol

Well...in truth...loved the taste of chips in newspaper..with loads of salt and vinegar ! Something about the smell....... mmm Ray still cleans the windows with it...learned from his Irish Mum !

gives a great shine Jane,, now that the sun is starting to shine again i guess i best keep the newspapers and clean my windows lol

Lol...the only drawback to spring sunshine It shows up all the dust ! Lol...Have a mind to start tomorrow !!

if only dust was worth money, i would be a millionaire lol

Oh me too...got lots of the stuff ! Lol..Shall we start a business ? Lol

we could try on E.bay lol Irish dust and Yorkshire cobwebs lol

Lol..New recycling venture !

mind you Jane, i think id miss my dust, ive grown very fond of it lol

Me too..its quite fetching in a certain light ! Lol
