Rain stopped play today. We were holed up in the Chateau most of the day, listening to the rain and the thunder. So we decided to record some audio. We were of course still hearing the bells. After a few failed attempts we managed to record the 200 bell tolls that happen morning, noon and night. A kind of old fashioned clocking in machine for the workforce on the surrounding farms.

Just imagine that 200 times over. Dong, dong, bloody DONG!
We also found the old Chateau. And it WAS just across the road, masquerading as a sugar beet storage facility. How disappointing. We had envisaged crumbling ruins overgrown with weeds. Instead we got an industrial warehouse with bricked up windows. However, Hermine has mentioned some ruins in the woods that we are going to hunt out tomorrow. If it ever stops raining.
