THROUGH MY LENS

  I am continuing days my posts about Belle isle Castle, near Lisbellaw in Country Fermanagh which I spend 5 days.  The good news if you have a few extra coppers is, for £7,500,000 you could buy it.  Just after  I had stayed there, it went on the market.  Of course for that money you are buying a beautiful island as well as this fabulous castle.  In my last shot were my nursing friends who stayed at the castle with me.
