It starts right here.

I've done many things I'm not proud of in my life thus far.  I will list two of them now.

  1. Licked some castles.
  2. Started a blog about me licking castles.

Also, rather shamefully I don't know anything about blogs, blogging or being a blogger.  I know as much about blogging as I do castles.
I'm learning.
Hopefully throughout the course of me visiting every single castle in the whole of the entireness of England (and possibly other parts of the UK too), I will learn about castles and what they taste of.  You see, this is not to be confused with all those other blogs about castles, or licking things.  No.  This blog aims to combine both castles and licking things. (Primarily licking castles, but lets not rule anything out at this early stage).  And then I will put them in order of greatness, rated on a few things that I feel suitable.  I have a few ideas of things to rate English castles on and I'm going to note a few right here:

  • Taste
  • Number of turrets
  • Height of turrets
  • View from turrets
  • Climbability
  • Additional Attractions
  • Price
  • Gift shop & cafĂ© quality
  • Staff clever skills
  • Coolness*
I'll be posting photos, writing brief reviews and scoring each castle out of ten.  I think.  That's the plan, but lets just see how it goes.
If you want to go on a castle adventure with me then may I suggest that although I can see the appeal, it would be a little strange if I don't know you.  The internet is a scary place, and people who read blogs called "Castle Licker" probably aren't the kind of people I want to hang out with.  Much.



*All castles are cool.  If you didn't think castles were cool you wouldn't be reading a blog about them.  Also, just be thankful I was talked out of my original blog idea "Socks with holes in".
