One day as we were driving about we saw a tourist sign for a castle. We had some time to spare so we dropped in. It appeared to be deserted and there was nothing to see but a few old carts in the courtyard so we turned to leave. The next thing we knew an old crone appeared from a cellar and gave us a dirty look. Then she released her dog!!
A giant sooky lab. It's hard to know who was happier. The dog or the boys. I think that it was the dog once it discovered that the mountain man was willing to throw its toy.
The dog was the least successful guard dog ever - not only did it not scare us away it encouraged us to stay for a few more minutes. We took a bit of a walk around the castle afterwards and enjoyed the sight of a few more tourists arriving and then leaving within minutes looking bemused and underwhelmed.
