Having fun storming the...

[lekythen]

Yup, the parents have bought a castle.

In fact, I'd found out they were going to bid on the thing Wednesday, when I rang to tell the family about my ice-cream incident. Heaven forbid that my mum lets herself be out-storied. After a few wails to my father that she 'just -had- to tell me', I got the story. Next day, poor, the 18th century Grade II

Still, even an abandoned small castle is, well, A CASTLE! We're going to want to see pics, and I'm sure a little editing can replace the busy roads with a wind-swept moor or something.

What, you think that moi would mess with Photoshop? Noooo. ...It is an idea tho...

I meant to put up a picture yesterday, and forgot... will do tomorrow when I go to the university.

I think that would be the word for the day.

Wow. We need pictures. (before and after renovations.)

Buying Castles

[madwriter]

They can have the one I'm living in now...Laurie and I are trying to get out!

Though it might need as much renovation as their new burned out shell. Or at least a new roof with a household cleaning done via a sandblaster.

Heh. After the stories of the last interesting house they had, I think I would be more shocked if you said, "Yep, mom and dad got a 1-story ranch house. No, no basement, nothing spectacular, just some standard architecture." :D

The temp place they're renting is pretty much that, actually. Suspect it's why they've gone off the deep end.

Suddenly, JJ starts getting dozens of e-mails from Virginia fandom, asking if they can hold LARPs and SCA events at her mom's house...

*shudder* The horror.

No, won't work, too small. Six rooms, remember, and very very thick stone walls.
