The B Team's Kenilworth Castle Selfie
What a place, can mew imagine what it was like back in the day? WOW! Now this would have been a purrfect B Team HQ in the 12th century! MOL
Here's a little bit of info from BBHQ's Historical Travel Guide, Smooch:
Last week we had the honour of visiting Kenilworth Castle, a pawe-inspiring piece of history that has stood the test of time for almost 900 years. It is situated in Warwickshire, England and has played a significant role in English history over the centuries, from its construction by Geoffrey de Clinton in the 1120s to its partial destruction during the English Civil War in the 17th century.
One of the most notable attractions of the castle is the Elizabethan gardens, which were created by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in the 16th century. These gardens were designed to impress Queen Elizabeth I during her visit to the castle in 1575, and they indeed left a lasting impression. The gardens feature a stunning collection of intricate knot gardens, fountains, and a meautiful aviary, making it the perfect spot for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
In addition to the gardens, there are many other notable features of the castle that are worth exploring. The Great Hall is a magnificent example of medieval architecture, with its high ceilings and impressive fireplace. It was once the centre of political and social gatherings during the 16th century. The castle also boasts the remains of a tiltyard, where jousting tournaments were once held, and the ruins of a keep, which served as the castle's main stronghold.
Overall, our visit to Kenilworth Castle was an unforgettable experience. The castle's rich history and meautiful gardens make it a must-visit destination for anypawdy interested in English history and architecture. It is a well-maintained and preserved site that allows visitors to explore and soak up the beauty and grandeur of medieval history, which is a testament to the enduring legacy of the castle.

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.
We used Prisma this week, as none of the BeFunky effects really worked, and we think it turned out not too bad.
This week we used the Prisma IOS App, and the
filter is called:- Leaf Fall.
We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 8 mins 25 secs.
We're off to get the P.A. to catch up on joining in the last week's blog hops, sadly she ran out of time. Seriously we'll be putting an ad out for a new P.A. soon if this shambles of a service continues! Mew just can't get the staff these days, and it's not like we don't pay her exceedingly well - if cat fur were currency she'd be a billionaire now!
Then it's time for lunch, and Smooch is lurking under the kitchen table in stealth, quietly snoopervising to make sure the roast is cooked to his exact requirements, oh yes, he's getting rather pernickety, and then we think a little garden safari might be in order.
There's only one episode of our Pirate Tails Rerun to go, and that's on Chewsday, but if mew missed any of the episodes so far, here are the catch-up links:
Do join us again tomorrow, when we're back with another episode of Cats Have Problems Too, and check out this week's Despurrate Dilemma.
We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to always...
