Castle the second - Castle Drogo
a
Castle Drogo was the 'last castle' built in England. It was built from 1911-1931. It was built for Sir Juilus Drewe, the founder of Home and Colonial stores. Later, his daughter turned the home into a place where orphans could come during/after the first world war. Then, she also turned it into a school. Today, it is just a tourist attraction, although some of the family still live in it! 
We weren't really supposed to take pictures inside the castle, but we did anyway. Unfortunately, they aren't very good pictures. The whole castle was furnished though, some really neat furniture too. 
After touring the inside of the castle, we got to tour the gardens as well. There was a formal garden and a rhododendron garden.

Hey Guys!
We're really enjoying seeing the pictures of castles and stuff. Too bad the inside pictures didn't turn out.
Anyway, it sounds like a super fun time, and even better since you're living in the lap of luxury. Have you gotten lost at John's place yet? ;)
Bear misses you SOOOO MUCH.
