User talk:Vaughan Herbert

I am a Herbert & descendant of Lord Clive of India. My mother, Emily Maud Jenkins of "Herbert Park", Armidale, NSW Australia, was cousin of the present earls' father, they were also close friends. She often spent her holidays at Powis. I have visited three times to the previous earl but not as yet met the present earl. To add to your excellent description - The Castle has a ghost. Every guest on their first night's stay at Powis awakens to superb piano playing.There is no piano in Powis. The dungeons/cellers contain huge shipping containers, never opened believed to contain many of Lord Clive's artifacts etc. from India. "The Terrace" balustrade displays life size busts of the; at the time, deemed important, emperors of Rome & houses a spectacular hot house of "equatorials" believed to be the only one in UK & in Europe. The view from the terrace is to the world's only, amazing looking, centuries old, waterfall of grass or "grass waterfall". I should also add, the castle is in pristine condition. I hope the above is of additional interest.
