Always on private land , we hiked up steep hills , along beaches , through forest , across farmland , down gullies , along cliff tops , and through a native bush reserve . We happened to be there on midsummer 's day , and were treated that night in the castle grounds to MitSommerNacht Traum , not Shakespeare 's play but a torchlit medieval celebration with jugglers , acrobats , fire-eaters , a ( female ) snake-dancer and spider-tamer who wore little else , medieval tradesmen like blacksmith and cobblers , and medieval craft stores . There are several Mormons , one of whom has just left for a mission in Tokyo and was quite happy for our ever-curious anthropologist to quiz him about every aspect of Mormonism , from polygamy to converting the heathens . Half an hour ago a bird banged into the low glass half-wall that surrounds our patio and swimming pool , which we erected a few years ago ( at great expense , and at the Council 's insistence ) to fence out possible , and mythical , stray children . Returning home from school , Pam was stopped by a police roadblock down our street . It was Ian and Nikki , who had also talked themselves through the roadblock .
