Farnham Castle Keep

Here are the first touristy images from my new home in Farnham, Surrey in the UK. The castle, about 20 minutes’ walk from our apartment, is about 900 years old and we took a walk around the Keep and the grounds (the castle itself wasn’t open the day we went) and you can perhaps get some sense of it. I took many more pictures but, especially after all my ruined Irish castles I frankly found them a bit boring. You can see the flag at half mast as we arrived here in the days before Queen Elizabeth’s burial.

More Dubliners

I don’t know how many of these were actually Dubliners and how many tourists, but I did try to photograph those who seemed like they maybe were local. Click any image to see them all enlarged (unless you’re seeing this in an email, in which case click through to https://islerweb.com).
