Bodiam Castle (Bodiam), located in Sussex (England), stands near the River Rother (Rother), almost on the border of Kent and Sussex.
It belongs to the rare breed of "residential locks," the last true castles in England. Preserving the function of the fortress, he, in contrast to the more ancient strongholds, is also suitable for life, and beautifully decorated, showing guests and neighbors, wealth, value and good taste of the owner.
When, in 1360 m Edward the Third signed a peace treaty with Bretini in which he renounced claims to the French crown, but retained the Aquitaine, Calais and other provinces, it is not really thought about the evacuation of the remnants of his troops to England. Those people who find themselves in a foreign country under threat of death, rallied. Thus were formed the so-called Floor Units or Routiers - private armies officially serve the king, but in fact were selling their services to the highest bidder.
dear william,how are you? i am in the capital of england — in london. my parents and i always dreamt about seeing this nice city.
there are a lot of beautiful old buildings. we have alredy seen westminster abbey, big ben (now it called elizabeth’s tower), the houses of parliament, buckingham palace, st. paul’s cathedral, london bridge, the tower of london and the waxworks madame tussaunds museum. there are the models of famous people from pop stars to prime ministers made from wax in this museum. they look like real. it’s so interesting.
my parents and i are walking on trafalgar square now. there is nelson’s column in its centre which is guarded by four lion statues at its base. by the way, i sent you this postcard with a picture of trafalgar square.
the weather is not fine today, it’s foggy and rainy. but it doesn’t spoil our walking. we took much photos. next week we will be at home and i’ll show you them.
don’t miss the chance to visit england and london.
best wishes,jessica
