In June 2003 Jean and I revisited Fonmon Castle. Once again, a
lovely day. I wandered around the gardens trying out the new SLR camera on the
flowers and shrubs.
Below, a few images of the day.
Inside the castle, needless to say, there
are some magnificent room interiors to be experienced.
The former kitchen, which is now a dining
room...
...boasting a magnificent collection of pewter.
This is the Hall and staircase leading
to....
...the most beautiful and spacious library.

What better environment for a little light
reading?
Even War and Peace could be enjoyed in this
timeless environment!
The
Virginia Creeper was magnificent with its rich autumnal red. It was said to
be the best it had been for many years.
Later in the year; October
2003 to be precise, I
was back at Fonmon taking pictures of Concorde approaching Cardiff Airport.
