castles and palaces
My children and I were discussing the existence of castles and palaces and the fact that not all palaces are castles and not all castles are palaces.
By the time we'd said "Some castles are palaces and some palaces are castles but not all castles are palaces and not all palaces are castles" it was very difficult not to end up talking about pastilles and callouses!

Re: castles and palaces
A castle is a fortified building with a least 2 sets of walls and an inner keepand ancillery buildings. A palace is a luxury residence with little or no defencive features. Best examples Windsor Castle and Bukingham Palace.

Re: castles and palaces
I wonder which path would lead us to where if we started talking about Wizards and Muggles, and do they live in castles or palaces?

Re: castles and palaces
This the one?
Hawkins: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right? Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace! Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace? Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon. Hawkins: A flagon...? Griselda: With the figure of a dragon. Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon. Griselda: Right. Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle? Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true! Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true. Griselda: Just remember that.

Re: castles and palaces
Time for a poem....
Drawback by Clive Webster from Dragon Poems It's a funny poem and it rhymes. Here it is. The dragon raged with flame and fire, He blew it down his nose - But the poor old soul was quite cross-eyed, And burnt off all his toes |

The Scottish castle I'm thinking of has only the one set of walls (the actual building itself) and has from time to time served as a royal rsidence and been referred to as a palace.

Re: castles and palaces
Castle of Mae, Balmoral, are 2 but they were built as a show piece home not as a fortification. Cannon and explosives put pay to castles and they became homes not retreatsespecially those built cirrca 1700-1800.
