Guédelon

Guédelon

After 40 mins. drive through beautiful countryside listening to beautiful music I arrive at Guédelon. It is a 25 year project building a castle exactly in the way it was done in the 13th century. It is magnificent. Everything needed for constructing the castle and for the community involved is sourced and made on site. Before Guédelon shut for the winter I felt I needed to go there to do some drawings - for 3 hours I am engulfed in a medieval world and feel completely at home. Then I drive home and leave home behind.

• Sorry for the long gap - not that anyone has sat waiting for news - I broke the computer key board. Bill still insists that the cat is to blame for sleeping on it because it is warm - but I knocked over my gin and tonic.  Even though my brother bought me a new computer, I couldn't think that anyone would be interested.   On Christmas day at our friends' house I was sitting next to Jane, and on the coffee table there was a bronze hare,- I mentioned my blog, and Jane was interested.  My Dad said I am a drifter - drifting into significance came Jane - she can speak and my life comes into focus.
