through the arched window

7 May 2002

what i did this weekend, aka, the warkworth castle and village photo album. is it obvious that in dark and dingy stone buildings the only really interesting thing to take a pic of is the only thing that’s light? that is, the view out of the window. but the windows are such pretty shapes at least.

warkworth is the first place that i’ve listened to an audio tour at. they were giving them out free yesterday and it was really quite good, much to my surprise. a bit slow at the beginning as they set the scene for the castle by teaching us the whole of english history in 3 minutes but it got better after that. i’m the kind of person who goes round reading all the signs and information panels anyway but it was nice to listen for a change. you do need to synchronise button pressing with the other members of your party if you want to comment on what’s going on on the tour though.
