Tourist Time

I don't know what happened to the weather today but it went quickly from summer to stormy.

In the end we decided to head back west where the sun was supposidly hiding.

On the way back a coach passing in the opposite direction shed something glass and metal which ended up bouncing in front of our car, over the bonnet, windscreen and roof. It wasn't until we got to Windsor for a meal and look around the castle that the reason people were looking oddly at the car was discovered. A 1 metre long length of metal and glass wedged under the bonnet giving us a lance on the front of the car....

Windsor Castle
was interesting. St. George's chapel is interesting but a lot smaller than it appears on the TV.

As Edward Heath, a member of the Order of the Garter, had died the day before his stall in the quire was covered with a wreath. It was interesting to hear from the guide about the Stranger Knights, a name which dates to the middle ages, which is sometimes applied to foreign monarchs in the Order of the Garter.

A good weekend, a little rushed but nice to relax and see some new scenes.
