Castles, sharks, elephants and ghosts.

A gigantic holiday picspam is looming ahead of you. And it is gigantic. It does, however, contain castles, castles and more castles, a little bit of Merlin, a dead shark, the grave of a noble dog, an elephant in a tree, an ancient burial mound, ROCKS WITH FACES (I shit you not), oh, and did I mention it has some castles? It also contains dangerous

AM SO INSANELY JEALOUS!!!!!11!!1111!!!

No, seriously, such beautiful photos, and I am a bit jealous b/c I do so love old ruins & such, only Canada is fairly lacking in them. I mean, we have lots of historic sites & all, but it's not the same. :(

Also, I love love love your blue sneakers!

And your ghost? So very creepy. So very, very creepy. I'd never have gotten back to sleep either.

Ooh, and your rocks w/faces? Maybe there's a reason for them. *shifty eyes*

Hello! Ahh, thank you. Yes, I feel very lucky to be in Britain, we do have a lot of ruins :D.

Oh thank you! They're just my adventuring sneakers, the ones I don't mind getting muddy and so on. My favourite sneakers are white converse, exactly like the Doctor's!

I know D:! I can't believe how calm I was at first!

I know! I think we should all make a pilgrimage to Dinas Emrys!

Thank you so much! Yes, Wales is very beautiful, I could so happily move there :D.

Looks like a wonderful trip! Take me with you next time!

It's a deal!

OMG Wales. My entire family lives in and around Caernarfon, and pretty much the only landmark from your tour I've ever visited is Caernarfon Castle. Repeatedly. I feel horribly ashamed and very jealous (though it looks like you were treated to the full Welsh experience i.e. now with added rain woop woop).

And Red Barn Murder...I had a book of 'True Horror Stories' by Terry Deary of Horrible Histories fame, and that one was in it, along with various shenanigans like Lizzy Borden and some Welsh werewolf, and it SCARED THE SEVEN YEAR OLD SHIT out of me. Woe. I daren't listen to the song, it will reawaken the demons of my youth.

I owe you, like, a message as long as the Domesday Book for your general brilliance and I apologise for my cretinous inability to keep up with the flist.

In short, I'm so glad you had a good time in the land of my birth (and of Merlin's birth yay!), and I think you do the most wonderful things with your hair.

And I haven't seen Harry Potter yet. I am slowly going insane without it.

Also, is that a Belle and Sebastian jumper I espy in the picture with the lovely pooch? *loves*

[o_deanna]

Really? OMG, that's amazing! I loved it, I thought Caernarfon was beautiful. Hey, we only found all these places by looking on a map and saying 'wow, that's a cool name!' about various little red blobs, don't feel ashamed!

Oh God, I know! It's such a horrible story D:. I apologise for subjecting you to some of the lyrics! I used to have so many books like that...or about unexplained mysteries. I don't know how I ever got to sleep at night.

Don't be silly! You don't owe me a message at all! As long as you got mine saying a massive THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for being so lovely about my hair, it's rather unruly at times! And why yes, it is a Belle & Sebastian shirt :D :D :D

Ahhh I missed you too!

The burial mound was completely surrounded by sheep, which made it a little less scary ;). Ahhh, but yes, very Bag End! I never thought about that! Ghost Chair is completely behaving himself now, thank goodness! But yeah, the barn ghost was pretty creepy D: D: D:!

I know, I'm so sad for Gelert, but like you said, he got his own little statue and a village named after him :D, not many dogs could make the same boast! Poor little guy. I'd name my next dog after him, but it's a bit of a mouthful to shout in the park!

Ahh thank you, yeah I loved the rocks and believe me, I could not stop staring at the shark either! I was stood there for aaaages!
