Today is our 11th wedding anniversary and we decided to take The Boy to see our wedding venue.

After we'd examined all the marvellous spiral staircases and hidden doorways, then marvelled at the towers and turrets, we decided to explore the fake moat (it's halfway up Caerphilly mountain, there's no way that the moat wouldn't have drained away. Plus Castell Coch was a folly for the Marquis of Bute and is full of decorative extras that have never had a function: drawbridge and moat being two of them) and splash in the puddles which were attempting to fill it up.
