Castle Drogo 1

A couple of weeks ago Christine and I went to Castle Drogo. We were fairly lucky with the weather, so that was a bonus.

The house had a few things packed away as they were in the middle of a 6 year project to repair the roof ... by removing the old one, replacing it, and then placing another "roof" on top to protect it. I took a deap breath and went up to see the work -
