I've not seen a Bohemia and Moravia stamp before, how interesting. The Czech castle series is one I like.
Hi Bob - I remember your Castles A to Z, as mine that year was about castles, but the European castles have similar outlooks - it's amazing that such incredible structures were able to be built back in those early days. Cheers Hilary
Yes, I remember your castles A to Z too, it was the first time I had ever heard of the A to Z. Found both you and Hilary.
Who could afford to build a castle, or a stately home, these days? It is lovely so many remain and great that some of them are being restored.
I always enjoy seeing castles. living in a country that doesn't have any...
Being born close to a medieval castle, I'm never tired to see those!
It amazed me to think that these castles were already built for many years before a white person ever placed a foot on North America soil.
