i saw this article in the news this morning and decided to share.
Robert Fidler, a farmer builds a castle and manages to hide it.
"Over the course of two years, he managed to secretly – and unlawfully – build the imposing mock Tudor structure in one of his fields, shielded behind a 40ft stack of hay bales covered by a huge tarpaulins."
-"The family hid the house behind hay bales 40ft high for four years while it was being built - in a failed bid to avoid having to apply for planning permission"
-"An Englishman's home is his castle: The Fidlers dream home complete with ramparts and cannons"
-a peek of the inside.
*sigh
i would love to live in a castle. well- maybe. i admire the man's creativity. this reminds of the quote, "art is anything you can get away with". the castle was built illegally, but i hope they can get away with it (which probably won't happen). i just thought it was amazing how this man took something, a dream, from scratch and made it come true!
