Lazy Saturday morning

Another grey morning. Yet living in Windsor gives us so many amazing opportunities. This morning, on a whim, we walked up to the Castle to watch the changing of the guards. Being wet, there was no band. So we caught the soldiers in the lower ward as they assembled into ranks; their red coats covered by grey smocks. We are so lucky just to be able to drop into the Castle any time we choose. This morning I stopped to look at the cherry blossom and bluebells that adorn the motte.

Being term break the Castle offers kids activites. Merrilyn and James had visited earlier in the week. James drew a picture of King George (the ??) which was posted on the wall of the centre. So this morning we dropped by to pick it up and, of course draw another. I took the chance to walk into St George's Chapel. It was nice just to sit quiet and admire the architecture. The Queen is "home" and her Standard was flying atop the Round Tower.

Rejoining Merrilyn and James, we walked out of the Castle into High Street for lunch. Hmmm. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

Photos of James' drawings are here.
