I wish I had taken more photos. I was so taken up in the moment that my phone stayed mostly in my pocket. There among the stones and walls, I was there but not.
I did not see wind swept ruins in the heart of Penrith, I saw a home, with galleries, staircases, kitchens and all covered with beautiful tapestries and curtains. I could feel life in this place and it felt nice.
The Castle’s Secrets.
What
secrets
do you hold.
Echos of days
Of old. History
Unfolds holding so much
Reaching through time you touch me
I see, clear, your former glory
You told me your fascinating tale
Through time and space your history prevails.

That’s exactly how it should be—to be enjoying yourself so much you forget about your phone!

Absolutely lovely Willow. Reliving it as it once were. The image is etched into your memory which is far better than a photo from your camera.
