Ron Rybs It has been worked on and bits rebuilt at various times, but the basic fortress is the same, although it has a pub in it now!

Ron Rybs The ravens are well looked after, but they know where to go to keep away from crowds! Far too many people there for any ghost to feel comfortable

Ron Rybs The middle of summer is not the best time to visit, as I found out. I love wandering around it, especially the armoury and Henry's VIII's armour. This time I didn't bother going to the jewel house!

Ron Rybs For the centenary of WWI they had volunteers to help plant the nearly 900,000 poppie. I am sure it took a fair bit of time to plant this batch.

Ron Rybs Thank you, most kind. It does look a little off to me, though! I think it is wire, but you can't get too close for a good look

I’ve spoken about small towns in Western Australia and their efforts to attract tourists. Nannup is one of those towns and was mentioned recently as they’ll be hosting the Gravel World Championships in 2026. They also hold a music...

Our son told us another story from his double bass playing days. I’m not too sure on the details but he, along with a number of others, were rehearsing for some sort of concert with Van Morrison. Apparently, Van can be a bit...

My photos need sorting out a bit and I’ve been coming across all sorts of interesting stuff. One was this sign which I thought was pretty typical Australian. It’s written in ‘Strine (Australian) so maybe I’ll translate it for...

I cheated a little bit tonight and let the store do the hard part—I grabbed a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the bird myself. But hey, everything else was homemade, so we’re calling it rustic authenticity. My chicken and...
