Sorry - it isn't actually our lighthouse as such, but it is privately owned and Sandy opens it for visitors at weekends and I get called upon to open it during the week if needed, so it feels like our lighthouse.
It is just across from our cottage and I can see it as I'm typing this.
Actually I hate going up - I trained in Outdoor Education at teacher training college and I used to go rockclimbing and had no fear of heights, but as I've got older I'm a real coward when it comes to heights - I even hate climbing ladders -perhaps if I had a rope attached I'd feel better  ;D
(Plus I have one replacement knee and arthritis starting  in the other so 66 steps is very daunting - that's my excuse anyway  :lol:)

Oh Elaine, please let me strees once more that the location of your home is so great! I wish i was living in an area like yours.... Although the humidity must be awful for the knees (or knee)...

I'm sorry to read about the knee replacement and arthritis, Elaine - certainly not what you want with 66 steps to climb, even if it's not often.

It's funny how fear of heights changes over time.  As a teenager up to about 16 I didn't like heights.  In my twenties and beyond they didn't bother me, I'd sit on the second storey window sill and wash the windows with no problem and when I was a fire brigade photographer going up a ladder, even a 100ft turntable one, wasn't a problem.  Similarly with cliff edges and church towers.  Now, I'm not too happy with heights again, not always, but sometimes.

That is a wonderful story Elaine!

And I agree with Wold Knight,
If Maise and Fred were to visit my home... Well they would be very boared. ::)

Maybe if they visit the next time I go to DC, or maybe on our Europe trip next summer! :)
