Fonthill Castle, Doylesbury & New Hope

This morning Ian drove us to Doylesbury airport to pick up our second Hertz car. It was much bigger than we had ordered but we had to take it - the Rinaldis would all fit in this one also - COME BACK?? We initially drove into the town, found Mercer Museum but decided we wanted to see Fonthill Castle more. We walked through the very pretty main street where William Doyle 'set the stage for what was to become Doylestown'. We shared a nice turkey 'hoagie' at Bagel Brothers and then drove to Fonthill Castle. This house was built between 1908 and 1912 entirely of hand mixed concrete by Henry Mercer. With fancy tiles everywhere we really enjoyed today and the drive home was lovely. Tonight, Erica came home from hospital and we enjoyed Craig/Ian time tasting beers and Lina/Erica time talking about the jewellery she makes and she gave me two lovely pairs of earrings and a beautiful blue necklace. It has been really lovely staying with them.Les mer
