>>Hi Tony Over the years your photos have given us inspiration to visit places we probably would have known existed. The latest is the grounds of Monk Coniston Hall, my wife and I called in today and were astonished that we could have driven passed such a beautiful place so often. The grounds are particularly spectacular at the moment with the Bluebells and Rhododendrons in full bloom and colour. Thank you for your continuing work.
