Windsor Castle

On Saturday I went to Windsor Castle so meet Cait and Jerry who are over visiting from the States. It was so good to catch up as it's been a few years.
There was little confusion in where to meet (I forget how difficult thing are without phones) but after a few hours waiting for tickets, I finally got in to meet them.

Entering Windsor

Looking to the State Rooms

The abbey

The abbey/church is amazing. Unfortunately you are not allowed to take photos inside any of the buildings. But the ceiling of the church is extremely beautiful and there is the grave of Henry VIII, as well as other Kings there. Very impression.

The one downside of Windsor castle is there is no where to eat inside. We got desperate. So lunch wasn't very healthy but it was all we could get. And very tasty. (The Queen has good chocolate.)

The promenade.

View over the countryside.

We toured the dolls house and the state rooms. I recommend a visit. The audio guide was very good and the state rooms are amazing. I can see why they have all the state visits there. George's Hall is where they hold all the State dinner and I can see why.

After the Castle, we went to get food as we were seriously hungry by this point. And then I took them to a pub. It's a must and we managed to find a proper pub with old church pews as the benches. It was great fun catching up.

I have spent the last 2 days of the bank holiday chilling out. And sleeping. A lot. I am trying to catch up after a busy few weeks at work. The weather has turned anyway so I don't feel too guilty about holing up and napping! :)
