Would you mind sending some of the good stuff over to this side of the pond? I know we won't get the historical castles, but, some "new construction" in historical style would be great. :)

If I ever hit the lottery, we'll have our own medieval town.  Or something like.

Oops sorry if you have already seen it.

lol, Sorry I`m not too sure about medieval sites over there Sir James. But here is my favorite medieval site in Wales that is not a castle. We have an event here next May and some people will get to populate the buildings etc etc....

A good google image search will bring up plenty more photographs etc.

Cool! Now that's how you do it. I just wish I understood German so I knew what they heck they were saying in that one video. XD

We have some medieval-period stuff over here in the States. It just all happens to be of the Native American variety. ;)
But yes, I would have entirely too much fun in a reconstructed medieval European village like that.

Do not give us reason to, young sir.  ;)

FWIW I know nothing about speaking German so far as I knew, you'd said it right.

Ooh! Ooh! Lemme see how much I can figure out:

Ich liebe Deutschland! Schade😢 meine Deutsch ist nicht gut... Weil ich Deutsch vier klass sprechen.

"I love Germany! Sadly[?] my German is not good." And no idea about the last sentence, though I recognize the words "I", "German", and "speak".
Haha, Deutsch ist wonderbar! Hema ist auch Deutsch ich denke. Das ist warum es ist  genial. Ich bin ein Ritter Deutsch.

"German is wonderful!" Something about "German" again. "That is why it is [something]." "I am a German knight."

Am I close at all? ;)
