Welcome, listeners. It’s a pleasure to have you with me today as we wander through time and terrain. Picture yourself stepping through a massive oak door, the scent of ancient stone mingling with fresh meadow air, and finding a place where you can simply sit on the green, gaze over rolling hills and let the stories of centuries drift around you. That is the feeling I want to explore, the surprising truth that some medieval castles, built for cannons and carts, can feel more welcoming than many polished Victorian mansions.

Thanks for listening,

Paul
