We have visited all the States in America but never seen Windsor! After watching the emotional funeral of our Queen, we decided it was time to see this part of Britain.
We drove down in pouring rain, had a disaster with the caravan just 35 minutes away from the site when Roy accidentally drove over a roundabout and moved the motor mover on to the tyre causing smoke etc. We found a layby and he did what he does best, bodged it so we could drive with the mover taken off and lashed under the van, my hero! Needs to change tyre and job to sort out with mover when back home. so we arrived at pm, having taken 8 hours.
Next day Thursday dawned bright clear and warm, we drove to a free car park just off the long mile and walked along the opposite way from the Castle to a monument of George then all the way back along the Long Walk to the Castle. Spotted a few deer and heard their bugling, its rutting season! Bit of a panic as my batteries on camera failed so had to use my phone, I'm not the best with a phone!
No Queue to get in the Castle and all I can say it was magnificent! Both outside and in the State Apartments it was mind blowing. We then had a short queue to go into St Georges Chapel which was stunning and very emotional for me seeing the stone marking Queen Elizabeth, her husband, her mother and fathers resting place. So as we had to walk past the stone quite quickly and there was no queue as we left, we went round again!
Had a lovely meal at good old Wetherspoons then the walk back to the car! A magical day!
