Simply by not owning three medium-sized castles in Tuscany I have saved enough money in the last forty years on insurance premiums alone to buy a medium-sized castle in Tuscany.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I can generate enough income, I'd like to get a castle, a historic castle that I can restore.
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.
I'm just fascinated by visiting actual castles in the countryside.
If you are going to build something in the air it is always better to build castles than houses of cards.
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.
Our castle is not imposing, but is well built, and surrounded by a very fine garden. I live in the bailiff's house.
I got a bit enamoured with bigger houses and things like that.
Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.
I've been in a lot of castles, and they are pretty damp, cold and gloomy. However, I love Windsor Castle in England.
I would like to get a house in Tuscany: aside from New York, cities do not appeal to me anymore.
