Side Note :
The foundation of Okoř Castle was laid at the end of the 13th century, with its construction continuing for two more centuries. However, during the Thirty Years’ War, the castle suffered devastating damage and gradually fell into ruin. Today, only the remnants of its Gothic walls, palaces, and chapel remain. Despite this, the castle still stands as a striking feature in the surrounding landscape, its entire area exuding a unique charm.
Interesting fact: Like many historic sites, Okoř is shrouded in secrets and legends. The most well-known tale is that of the White Lady, the ghost of the late lady of the castle, who wanders the ruins, guarding a treasure hidden deep beneath the ground. The mystery still draws curious adventurers, but so far, no one has managed to solve the legend or uncover the hidden treasure.
Nevertheless, "Tempus fugit" and not only castles crumble to ruins ... also years come and go.
2025
has reached the end and I'm not realy sad for it.

love and understanding.
SEASON' S GREETINGS, MY FRIENDS !!!
See you again, next year...
Even Sean is a 'crumbling ruin' and soon will move to his last dwelling six feet under. ;-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo 2025 treated you subobtimal, loveliest of all Lindas?
The more I do hope 2026 will spoil you with lots of love, inspiration and desire.
And here's
A toast to your coffin:
May it be made of 100 year old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, in 2026. ;-)
My parents always told me that "Creaking carts last longest" I guess something similar applies to "crumbling ruins"...
VerwijderenHaha Sean, never before I was offered such an original toast. Let's make it a deal,... as long as your coffin is made of that same tree :-].
It must be fun to end up as the oldest woman of Belgium... ;-)
