Venerated reader, I have to beg for pardon. Perhaps the first time since I started “Sunday Music” as a regular feature some years ago, I did not publish it on Sunday or Monday ; over time there were one or two Tuesday editions, but a “Sunday” Music on Wednesday is a bit much.
I can give as an excuse only that I was busily exploring my surroundings, castles were involved. To give you an impression of what can be found here, and of course as captatio benevolentiæ, see a little clip showing a mysterious lady walking around – you guessed it – a castle.

She looks like Ms Norma!
Anyhow, if you carry on like this you’ll be so late that you’ll end up posting on a Sunday again.
Sx
Oh, how cool! Will there be fotos?
I would love to see the castle and the dead Hohenzollerns to add to my collection!
Haha! Scarlet has your answer…just do it.
You can do whatever you choose. Your blog, your decision, we’ll be here to enjoy it and be glad to :)
If I had been her I would have worn that jacket on my shoulders, without putting my arms through the sleeves, giving the impression that I live there and have just nipped out for a saunter.
What a fantastic and grand castle! The sculptures and designs are amazing. The gardens and setting are marvelous and enchanting. Was that Queen Elizabeth II looking for a vacation home?
You are pardoned, dear Mago. I do like a good castle, and that one has such a splendid array of towers and turrets as to wonder how many extremely long-haired young maidens could be imprisoned there?
I think, with a different soundtrack, that could be quite the spooky film. Ms Norma, included (thank you, Ms Scarlet)!
I forgot to ask: Is that one of the castles you have taken a turn around?
You post when you want to post, and you can call *every* day Sunday if you wish. ;-)
Please do show us some of the photos of the castle you visited!
It must be Norma ! Yes, this is the magic of laziness – in the end I’ll be “there” first because I never left, dear MsScarlet !
I remember that it was a steep walk and that it was draughty – but one had a nice look from some points over the land. As I remember they have no crypt there, but use a nearby chappel for the Hohenzollern family burial – but I am not quite sure LẌ !
I followed her order stat Dinahmow – and did nothing until today !
I’m a good boy.
Thank you dearest Z. Of course the self-set goals are hardest to reach …
Just a dash to the stables to be sure that the Italian stallion is kept in good condition Mitzi ?
I am not sure what Her Majesty would think about this castle, Eroswings. It is definitely not very comfortable, because a report says that they had a family gathering there in winter time and everybody had to wear thick clothes and fur while sitting at the dinner table. It is surely not “warm & comfy”, more “kalte Pracht”, cold spledour. I think it is even easier to warm Ludwig II’s castles in Bavaria than this house.
Norma appearing as “The White Lady” ! In fact they have a “white lady” there, a family ghost who predicts the demise of the family head. Yes, I have visited this castle, last year I think. No photographs as I remember, but I have to look. You know IDV – I shy away from sorting my pictures, so the heap grows and grows …
Thank you Ponita – yes, some photographs will follow soon. But sadly they will be pretty balnd, sorry.
