Windsor Castle

It was a work day for Rod today, so I took myself off to Windsor Caste for the day.

Whilst only about 10 miles away, it required 3 trains.  Marlow to Maidenhead, Maidenhead to Slough and Slough to Windsor - still I wasn't in a rush :-). Not like getting the 6:32 from Rugby to Euston!!!  The train line ends at Marlow and only goes to Maidenhead - quite quaint.

Windsor was fantastic, although would recommend buying a ticket in advance if anyone is planning to go as the queue to buy tickets was quite long.  Whilst waiting changing of the guard took place.


Amazing to think how old this place is.


The Round Tower

Unfortunately you can't take pictures in the state rooms or St George's chapel.  The work that has been done to restore the great hall following the fire is really impressive, you wouldn't know it's not the original.

St George's Chapel


Got back to Marlow at just after 4:00.

I have decided that this is the labradoodle capital of the country I have never seen so many.

Oh well must be time for a glass of vino - another hard day tomorrow :-)
