A grand finale - Part 2

Helen outdid herself tonight with selecting the most magnificent surrounds for our final dinner at Cliveden House where we dined in the magnificent Dining room. We all wondered if we were seated in the seat where Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw and many other famous people had sat. The history of the house is fascinating and you can read more about the house HERE. It was certainly a night to remember so here are a few final moments and treasured memories………

 Thankyou Helen for not only a wonderful tour but for all your gracious hospitality and caring attention. And thanks to all of you who came….if it wasn't for all of you there would simply be no tour! Long live the incredible designs of William and May Morris!

A grand finale - Part 1

Today has indeed been a very grand day starting with Windsor Castle which I just loved. The crowds can be a bit off putting but you just have to go with the flow and see what you can………

 There was a 25 minute wait to see Queen Mary's Doll's House which is quite spectacular complete with electricity and plumbing. Sadly a very large crowd of girls would not move from prime position while I was there so I think one day I might have to treat myself to a book about it. No photos are allowed inside the castle but the grounds are enough…...

 Glad he had some shelter because one minute there was sunshine and the next it poured……...

 Under the arch is the delightful moat gardens and I managed some shots before the rain…….

 Paul and Penny dodging the showers…...

 If you look carefully you can see me in the reflection balancing an umbrella and a very heavy camera!

A very grand day indeed but wait until you see our very grand night!
