Vaulted cave flooded! With all the rain we've had, we found our own mini-stream in the vaulted cave so the race was on to install drainage and a waterproof concrete base! Clearing it out we found several boxes of old mortar fuses dated 1943 and 1946 left over from WW2 (safely taken away and disposed of by the police, of course). One more glamorous job ticked off :) ...

A huge thank you to my lovely sister-in-law Amanda Molyneaux for these beautiful sketches of the Château made during the Molyneaux Family Clan Gathering, July 2023. A good time was had by all :)

Thrilled to have found this old stone archway in to the tower. It’s probably around 600 years old! Reinforcing to be on the safe side!
