Chirk Castle - July 2004A 'fun' weekend at Chirk Castle on the Welsh Border. Our friends Caroline and Kenny were kind enough to put up a number of the players for the weekend when we went to see the Chapterhouse Theatre Company's open air production of As You Like it (by Wm. Shakespeare) in the Castle Gardens. |

Shades of Robin Hood? - but I'm not sure if I'd trust that sheep, it has a mean look on it's face. |
