To build those peak castles now would cost far too much, due to high labour rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing missing that you are looking for your ancestors, even after ... This is my biggest hobby I think it would be hard to trace my ancestors, at the start of the 20th Century they were still living as gypsies, travelling the country hehe! They were originally from France, the oldest photo I have is of a Great Great Great Grandmother, selling heather from a tray, proper Gypsy trade lol!

I guess my physical condition when we finally got up to the top of those steps in Koeln Cathedral is best described by what my son asked... "Dad, if a paramedic had to come up here, would he have to climb those steps too?"!!! Never again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
