Time Out To Refill My Creative Well

Yesterday I made the most of a having a friend to visit for the weekend and the gorgeous sunny weather and did one of my favourite things. I explored a castle, which dates back to the late 1100's and a grand old house. Both Newton House and Dinefwr Castle are part of the National Trust’sDinefwr Park.
We spent the morning wandering around Newton House, which was hosting a wedding weekend. The drawing room was all set out to showcase what a wonderful setting it would make for a wedding and of course sparked a few ideas in my head. Then after a leisurely lunch we walked to the castle.
On the way through the woodland, the first flush of bluebells were bravely appearing but the promise of a spectacular display in just a few weeks means I will be going back armed with my camera.

The views from the castle were stunning and the blue sky lent an air of summer to the afternoon as we explored the ancient walls and climbed up and down narrow twisting steps. Afterwards we strolled around the grounds and enjoyed some of the walks, of which there are many.

It was a beautiful day out which left me refreshed and revived. Exactly what I needed as I am about to start writing a new book. My creative well is nicely refilled. Thanks Sarah Jane!
