Windsor Castle

Who got stopped by police at Windsor Castle for having contraband (pepper spray, illegal in the UK... who knew?)? Who had to wait nearly an hour and then who got to be interrogated by police? Who lost her group of students and teacher in Windsor Castle? Whose name is sure to be on some list somewhere? Yup.

Despite its rough start, our visit of Windsor Castle was lovely. Great and famous paintings, an impressive collection of weaponry and the most amazing dollhouse on the planet (Queen Mary's Dollhouse, worth the visit just to see it) complete with electricity and silver dinner plates. See links below for photos. I didn't take any because you can't (well, aren't supposed to) take any photos of it.



When the queen is present at Windsor Castle, her flag (The Royal Standard) flies on the mast. When she leaves they put up the Union Jack. Queenie was home that day, and for some reason our students got it in their heads that they were going to meet her. They kept asking when we were finally going to meet the queen... the little darlings.



Wonder why it's called "The Long Walk?"

The last time I was here with Mary Patton we did the entire long walk. Guess what? We were tired by the end, haha.
