Join us on our day out to the Duchy Nursery near Lostwithiel (super Cheese Soufflé for lunch) and a walk from there along to Restormel Castle down Cornish Lanes and see the finished Cheesecake which did turn out properly ready for tonight’s Birthday dinner.

Just beautiful! It is so great to see these photos even though I am so far away. The cake looks so yummy and pretty with those flowers! The shot of the train is just grand. I’d love to visit somewhere like that one day. Have to graduate from college and get a job first. Very close, though!

Is Restormel Castle real, or one of the popular 18th Century fake ruins?

It is/was a real castle! 🙂

Good to know! I was watching BBC’s Art of Gothic yesterday and was stunned (really stunned) to hear that it was the fad in the 18th century to construct ruins, especially in the Midlands. I had never heard that before.
