I just have about 4 books to go through before I start. Time to broaden my knowledge as it is sadly lacking in history

More to a point, buy this book for when your kids are a little older - www.amazon.co.uk/Horrible-History-Britain-Histories/dp/0439953952/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342167638&sr=1-2 - It's currently in our work from the Book People, I gave it a read yesterday, it's excellent.

The Ghost Tower was changed to the Princess tower a few years back and then the last time I went there it had been changed again to tie in with some TV programme that I've never seen (Merlin or something?)

This guy has made it his life's work to get grants to turn them back in to working guns. Last year for fathers day my darling wife and my girls took me to the castle for a day of watching them all get fired.
I was in heaven. You don't want to breathe in the gunpowder smoke though, gives you the shits.
