They sound beautiful and a little controlling in just two words! ;)<br /><br />Hi Charmaine <br />I think it is the sense of time standing still that leads ones thoughts to ghost stories.

It was burned to the ground by Boudicca - gotta love a little home grown rebellion.<br /> I go to the park in St Albans, at lot. When the sunlight catches the thin Roman bricks used in the tower, the terracotta tiles absorb the rays and the whole thing glows. Amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-86728257358624562042010-07-24T02:20:25.928+01:002010-07-24T02:20:25.928+01:00That is a beautiful building, and I love the story...That is a beautiful building, and I love the story behind it.
