Shalom Art!

The Israeli Artists paid the Castle a visit. The Consort was very taken with their artwork. He invited them back so H.R.H. could view their wares. H.R.H. loved some of their contempary work. The Castle are raising taxes of the Court to pay for the purchases, so expect to hear from the Saltbush tax department in the near future. 'WE' purchased 5 paintings and are pleased with our buy. Pay us a visit and feast your eyes!

Sunshine in Winter

Thecolourjane took these photos of the Castle, sunshine streaming in through the doors opening onto the pool decking. So lovely on a Winter's morning.

Lovely! Thanks Mel.

H.R.H.'s good hair day

First step is consulting with Her Majesty's hairdresser. Mel, from Metamorphichair checks with H.R.H. about favoured colours.

Second step is tea and chocolates for H.R.H.

Thirdly, Mel uses foils to make H.R.H.'s luxurious hair even more so.

The Castle Electrician

H.R.H. is eternally grateful to her electrician and the apprentice! Going above and beyond the call of duty, Ben went for a dip in that very cold pool to retrieve those annoying tiles that the Consort so thoughtlessly dropped into the pool. Ben suffered a 'brain freeze', but was otherwise unharmed. Thanks, Ben.
Ben said the wet suit did little to help him in this quest.

The first dip

The Consort gets ready to take his first dip in the pool. He dropped some tiles in the pool and needed to retrieve them. All the Castle staff refused, even upon threats of sacking! What nerve! However, the water proved too cold for the Consort - a mere 10 degrees. He gave up very quickly.

Pool Lighting

Today the Castle was invaded by the most accomodating of workmen. Ben and the apprentice worked non stop to install new lighting around the Castle's pool. Ben even went for a dip to extract the Consort's tiles that he lowered into the pool (accidently). After recovering from 'brain freeze', Ben continued with his work.

Viewing with H.R.H.

An amazingly refreshing, heart warming watch! Thecolourjane and H.R.H. attended an exclusive screening of Mamma Mia yesterday. We laughed until our sides ached! What a blessing to see some of our most revered actors able to completely lose themselves in the task at hand. What a rapport the cast obviously built with each other to generate enthusiasm, fun and frivolity. Do your best to see this exciting and fun movie.
