Cardiff Castle

Cardiff was a lovely little city. Pretty buildings, a big malled are with lots of arcades very similar to the beautiful arcades of Melbourne. And of course smack bang in the middle of down town is the Cardiff Castle. 
This is the sort of castle you imagined when you were a kid. The big stoned wall, the keep, the moat, the draw bridge,the trebuchet, the dungeons it had it all. 
The castle home was beautifully constructed. It always amazes me the extraordinary workmanship of the artisans of hundreds of years ago. They weren't simply builders they were craftsman who were talented,precise perfectionists and took pride in their work.
I seriously doubt that the level of detail achieved in those so called "primitive years" could be achieved today by the modern trade who really has the most technological advantage ever but not the workmanship or pride in their work.
I suppose though if the threat of the guillotine loomed closely you made sure your work was spot on.
