Wandering Wednesday – Arundel Castle, UK

Question Of The Day

Can you get cavities in your dentures if you use too much artificial sweetener?

Arundel Castle

Overlooking the River Arun in West Sussex is Arundel Castle.  In our adventure in England in 2008, we visited this historic castle.  A very imposing place and home to the Duke of Norfolk.  Before we hit the castle, I have to show you what is in the round about on the way into the town of Arundel.  Check out the faces.

Once left the spider people behind, we approached the castle.  As I said, it is a very imposing structure, especially with a thunderstorm approaching.

The grounds were spectacular as well.  The Duke lives here and it is well-tended.  Certain parts of the castle are not viewable.  This is understandable as I know that I have no interest in seeing the Duke’s underwear lying on his bathroom floor or worse.

We left the confines of the living quarters and headed for the ramparts to check out the views.  We got some magnificent scenery both inside and outside the walls.

The English countryside never ceases to amaze me.  We left the castle to explore the grounds.  We found much of interest including the royal lawnmowers.

We also discovered some strange statuary.  Not quite sure what they were, other than big and metallic.

Farther along, I found a perfect photo opportunity.  Unfortunately, I lost that shot in cyberspace somewhere, so I’ll have to substitute this one.

That was enough for the day, time for a cool refreshing beverage, and well deserved.
