After travelling all around the place in recent times we figured it was high time we actually saw some of England. We had heard a lot about Windsor so we thought we should go and mingle with the height of British aristocracy there. The day we headed out was a cracking 27 degrees, which was nice given we had just experienced the wettest and darkest August on record in England.
Unfortunately the Queen was not in that day, if she had the British flag flying above would have been substituted for the Royal one.
Above- where the Queen hangs out, up to 4 days a week over the weekend we were told.
Eaton college- Just down the road from Windsor castle, quite handy for the boys (Harry & Will).
One of the highlights of Windsor castle was hearing about the 'Garter Knights'. There are only ever 24 Garter knights alive at one time and these people are hand picked at the Queens discretion, some of the more famous Garter knights include Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Prince Charles, Prince William and our very own Sir Edmund Hillary.
Above- How can anyone take these guys seriously with hats like that, I swear he was snoozing.
