Day7
Windsor Castle
April 1, 2017 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Two short train rides from London and you can be in Windsor. I arrived just in time for the changing of the guards and it was much easier to see than at Buckingham Palace. A short walk up the hill and Windsor Castle can be seen in all its glory. I headed straight for the tour of the State Apartments. This was really worth seeing (again no photos allowed). A fascinating insight into Royal life both past and present. I especially liked the China room showing a huge variety of the beautiful sets. There was also a room that had a sheild for every knight of the royal order on its ceiling.

The grounds of the castle are beautiful with gardens filling the disused moats. Definitely worth the time to visitRead more

Waking in Windsor. Didn't expect that...
May 20, 2017 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
It was already well after 10 pm as we set off in the camper from the Jon Gomm concert. Only the voice of Ms GPS to lead us to one of only two camper parking sites this side of Greater London. Forty minutes of darkness, rain and 267 roundabouts later we park at our mystery destination. Where are we, it's too dark to tell.
Morning breaks to reveal our new neighbour is HRH in Windsor Castle (this is her weekender). We are smack in the centre of Windsor, beside the Thames. So we have spent an unexpected day visiting her (castle), Eton College, the odd shop or 86, and walking the banks of the Thames. Quite nice. Tomorrow, Yorkshire to see family. I may be bit quiet in coming days as we spend time with them. Ciao.Read more

Yep, she likes the simple things. Horse and carriage, pure gold, (Philip).
