Our castle is not imposing, but is well built, and surrounded by a very fine garden. I live in the bailiff's house.

I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.
I've been in a lot of castles, and they are pretty damp, cold and gloomy. However, I love Windsor Castle in England.
I'm just fascinated by visiting actual castles in the countryside.
Yes, your home is your castle, but it is also your identity and your possibility to be open to others.
It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.
If you are going to build something in the air it is always better to build castles than houses of cards.
Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.
A man's house is his castle.
I wouldn't like to live in a castle now, but I'd enjoy a visit to Restormel in Cornwall in its 13th century prime. It's a circular castle with the rooms built against the outer walls and quite intimate in size. Life there wouldn't follow the pattern of more classic castle design.
You can't very well live in a castle while your kin is on the poor side of town and barely have enough food. Some want you to get to the top and rely on you making it for them, too.
