You live in a fairytale land!<BR/>Have you ever heard of Hever's Castle outside of London? While visiting our amusement park here, I sat on a bench with a dear lady from London who told me about Hever's Castle. I plan to go do a Google search about it now. <BR/>God bless!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436764764797493783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-51696866668591115702008-04-20T02:34:00.000+01:002008-04-20T02:34:00.000+01:00You said "Welsh Arthur", but it doesn't really mat...You said "Welsh Arthur", but it doesn't really matter as you got quickly to the point.There was no 'Wales' until we were invaded by the Angles, Jutes and Saxons.All the western seaboard was 'British' Strathclyde (Ystrad Clud)down through Cumbria, Cambria, Cornwall (The horn,peninsular, of Wales and 'Little Britain in Armorica.
