Draagon the Dragon

After a long flight and customs officers who repeatedly put Draagon the Dragon back and forth trough a X-Ray machine for about 15 minutes at the Trondheim airport, I finally got my new Dragon back to my home. For now he's spending his days in my living room, but I will find a place for him (yes, it is a he) somewhere in my garden when spring/summer arrives.

Hi weigh 15,2 kilos and is about the size of a big cat, and rather cute, right ;)

And by the way... Some of these old and small town houses up in the Peak is just fabulous.... Take a quick look at some of these marvelous houses and places...

The Peak Castle

Peak Castle, Castletown, about 1100 AD

This is a model of how the layouts of the castle was around 900 years ago. It had steep hills on all sides and was probably more or less impossible to conquer without a long siege ahead of taking the castle itself.
