Here is a beautifully designed building in Alphen aan den Rijn. It is called Castellum because of the Roman origins of the town. As all you classically educated readers will know a castellum is a small Roman detached fort or fortlet used as a watch tower or signal station.
As this building houses movie theatres and the such like then I suppose it is still a watch tower.
Again TaTa likes taking photos of the sky because the blue matches my eyes and also because she loved lounging about in Gert's garden.
The next house is where one of TaTa's friends live - how about that for a view. The house is almost surrounded by water except for a small footpath to reach it.
And then there is the secret house - all will be revealed one day soon.
And lastly my gorgous Treacle.
He is the most fabulous dog in the world because he adores me.
Treacle used to be a gun dog but one day he wouldn't give the pheasants back so he was retired.
He then spent his life going from rescue centres to various homes. When we first got him he was twice the size he is now as he was rarely walked by his original owners and just used to lounge in the conservatory - that soon changed!
There's nothing Treacle loves better than running through brambles,
mud and leaping into the ponds or the
sea. But he's getting old now and gets a bit puffed out.
TaTa says he may only have a couple more years to live before he goes to Animal Heaven.
I don't want to think about it.
I am also very upset because the foxes came to visit last night and ate all the guiness pigs.
TaTa says she doesn't want anymore guiness pigs because every time one of her animals dies a piece of her heart dies too.
