Culzean Spam

Last weekend we went for a spin down to Culzean for the first time this year. It was an absolutely glorious day and the castle and grounds looked as spectacular as ever. Who knew Scotland could look this pretty in October?!

In my head, that is where Archie grew up. He climbed on the dolphin cannons.

And the swans chased him and were scary. (They do, and they are!)

In New England, October is well known to be the best month of the year. The ocean is as warm as it is going to get--not very. You can go swimming, and bundle up in a sweatshirt after. Nothing is sticky, not like it was in the summer. And the sky...

I have pictures of daughter climbing on the dolphin cannons :)

October in New England sounds lovely! You wouldn't want to try swimming in Scotland at this time of year, unless you want to risk hypothermia!

What a pity there still isn't monkeys running amok, everything is better with monkeys!

The Kennedy monkeys had their own pagoda! (Yes really.) I'll post pictures of it soon.

I bet pre-breeched Archie was at least as exasperating as a barrel of monkeys!

Wow! Great shots! The Camelia House looks like a tiny castle itself.

The whole estate is gorgeous but the Camelia House really does look like something from a fairy tale.

I think Scotland looks its best in spring and autumn. :)
