I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
Arrived in London and headed to Windsor. MY BAG HAD ARRIVED, having been couriered from Cologne. The biggest pain was not having a charger for my BB7730, which for some reason doesn’t use a standard USB interface.
Anyhoo, turns out I’m staying across the road from Windsor Castle, so it spent the afternoon power-touring the castle looking for Corgi’s.
The castle is crammed with paintings, murals, carvings and tapestries. Every surface is ornate making the detail in every room quite daunting. There was a fire in 1992 which they have done a stunning job of repairing.
The exhibit I liked the best was ‘Queen Mary’s Dollhouse’ which was actually a scale model of a Palace. It was fascinating to see how they use the space and the different levels in the building.
Click on the photo for pictures. Wasn’t allowed to take any inside understandably.
