The now in the past and the future

15 past future 2

A vision of tomorrow, through the eyes of yesterday

A boy – the promise of the future –  in a building which his great great grandfather helped to build in the past.

My grandfather was a young tradesman, a tinsmith, some 100 years ago when this castle was built and carried out some work on the construction.  Now my grandson was playing amongst its walls and columns.
