HEALEY, North Riding

Cadfael's Castle

Picture
When I started building this little tower in 2000, my young grandaughter saw the pile of sand and asked what I was doing. I told her that I was going to build a castle. She went to tell my wife and excitedly exclaimed 'Ga-ga is going to build a castle, a sand-castle!'. She was so disappointed when the pile of sand disappeared and the tower appeared.
