Tomoya's castle


Framlingham Castle
Originally uploaded by Durf.
This is Framlingham Castle. It’s across the way from the school where Tomoya went for the past several years. He’s graduated now, and is waiting on his final test scores to see whether he will go to the University of Edinburgh this fall. (They’ve invited him to come, but the scores still matter. I don’t understand the system very well. A-levels and sixth form and all that stuff.)

There really are a lot of castles on that island. Must have been a dangerous place to live, lo those many years ago. Dangerous and brutal, if you were one of the poor saps living on the outside of the castle and being dragged off to haul fresh rocks for a new rampart every once in a while. Ah, the sacrifices of the past! And today we enjoy these lovely heaps of photogenic boulders as a result. Thank you past people.
