apparently there is not only a lake but also a castle near where i'm staying! so i figured i'd capitalise on the perfect summer afternoon and do some exploring after having to go to school to buy the textbook i railed against buying. it's sad really, that my protests end up so anti-climatic. maybe i'm a closet conformist at heart. but back to this exciting castle hunt! i went by S' birthday party last night after J's housewarming BBQ and the bunch of them went to find the castle at 3am. would've joined them if i'd more energy but i sold out and went home to sleep, determined to find the castle myself soon.
so armed with a bag full of food (apples, crackers, liver pate, chocolate digestives, pear cider, a tumbler of earl grey and even more chocolate) i set off feeling a little like red riding hood in the dark dark woods. or robert frost, whichever you prefer. the lake was scenic but the castle not so much a castle but a grand manor. which, somehow, qualifies for 'castle' over here in scandinavia. and northern germany too, i'm told.
i love summer. and castles. and picnics by the water.
