Caerphilly Castle has been my favorite castle for decades. I don't know if it's the moat, if it's the leaning tower, if it's because it's in the middle of a city, or if it's the moat (it might be the moat), but I have loved it forever.
When we went the first time, back in 2017, there was a glorious dragon inside the gate that you could stand next to and take pictures with. That was when I knew Caerphilly was my favorite castle because of the dragon.
A year ago today I was at Caerphilly again, my castle. The dragon was still there, but now you can't stand next to him. He has his own little den, because now he has a mate and two hatchlings to protect. Turns out, the best way to make a sexy guy even sexier is to make him a dad. It even works for dragons.
