The castle tower

On my way to another tree, bench and preferably in the sunshine, I crossed the field next to the castle. Most of the times when I go there, there are cows. But not today. Today I had the opportunity to walk along the barbed wire fence to inspect the hidden side of the castle. The castle is not in use anymore, the countess has long since deceased. It is being renovated into a conference centre, now.
Next to this tower I saw a derelict greenhouse, glass all in smithereens, and an overgrown kitchen garden. It is a pity. I like to look at vegetable gardens, the larger the better, and this must have been a large one.
