Hit 'L' to view on large. This castle has it’s rumours. There are the stories about the man in the jeep and his accomplice on the scooter watching over this castle. The castle was built in 1860 by an marquis who lived in the town and it still is in Royal’s hands. Apparently, the owners cannot agree about a plan to preserve the heritage and therefore the place is left abandoned without having anybody to care for it. The impromptu 2 day tour with camerashy and host to France and Belgium, with some new places, a lot of travel with minimal sleep and some goals being accomplished by getting to a certain school.

Many thanks to Miquel Aparici for writing and inviting me into his magical world. Just looking at his artworks makes me happy, hope to see them in person someday! Miquel's wonderful recycled sculptures are assemblages of disparate vintage materials that he collects from junkyards and antique sellers. He then catalogues, stores and transforms them in his workshop located inside an old industrial ship near Barcelona. Thanks to La Factoría Plástica and pad blog for the studio photos. A fantastic box of toys made for a lucky someone called Lucas. On Miquel's website you can also find his series of animals painted with coffee, sugar and a teaspoon. And check out his blog to get the latest news!

Gardening has always been a realm of all things re-used and up-cycled, and the trend of repurposing junk items into garden items is flourishing like never before. By thinking outside the box and reimagining the potential of discarded objects, you can create a truly unique and personalized garden that showcases your ingenuity.
