A special week.

I often find it difficult to find time to do all I want to do in a week. This past week has been an inspirational one. In a way I threw the towel in and got so much more out of it than the usual seven days. Following my visit to Bodnant gardens, I joined the National Trust, and within two days Barbara and I were off to Plas Newydd on Anglesey. I cannot believe that in all these years I have not visited before...We had a great photo-taking visit...awesome, almost beyond words and that reservoir of inspiration is overflowing now. It stirred the writer in me...what stories this place could tell, the artist, because it is the most amazing place. I want to go back and explore the house...I want to sit in the gardens and paint and write...I want everyone to join the National Trust and experience these wonderful places. It cost me less than £30 to join for a year and I am now able to visit all the sites in England, Wales and Scotland for free. (email me for joining advice on linkz@talktalk.net)...
