Ramblings from the accounts department

"One of the highlights of our recent trip to the UK was our
outing to Bath and Stonehenge. From my first e-mail contact with Michael to
book the trip to getting picked up promptly on time by Dave, my friend and I
had a good feeling about the company. When the tour began with Peter behind
the wheel, I knew that we had picked a winner.
Pete's upbeat personality and extensive knowledge transformed a bus of
strangers into a group of friends on a road trip. We were lucky to have
him. At Stonehenge we confirmed the meaning of life is 42 and during our
travels we discussed that life as a 'buttered bun' is better than doing
without. (Those who were on the bus that day know what I mean.) I wish
that there had been time to do another tour. I recommend your company to
everyone wishing to have an excellent time with friendly, knowledgeable
guides (that's you, Pete!) while traveling in a clean, well maintained
vehicle. In a word, it was Outstanding."

Did You Know:
The historic Windsor Castle in Britain has more than its fair share of ghosts, according to the United Kingdom-based Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena. The ghosts include some royal ones, including King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, King Charles I, and King George III ("Mad" King George). King Henry is supposed to haunt the cloisters near the Deanery with ghostly groans and the sound of dragging footsteps.

I wish I had known this before I went to visit the castle recently!

My husband and I were looking for something to do the weekend before last and I told him about our Romans, Royals and Gargoyles day tour. We decided that it sounded like a great day so we set out for Bath with the intention of doing a bit ofChristmas shopping. I found the perfect dress for his work's Christmas 'do' within a few minutes of being there. (Shoes were a different story though!)

We needed a traditional cream tea in the famous Pump Room to recover from all that shopping. So, feeling slightly full but nicely relaxed, we set off for Windsor Castle.

The view of the castle as we drove along the M4 was beautiful. It was a freezing cold day but that meant the sky was a crystal clear blue. I really enjoyed wandering around Windsor before going into the Castle. I don't know about anyone else but learning a bit more about the castle had the effect of making me feel very small and insignificant. The bulding has been there for over 900 years and seen a huge number of Kings and Queens come and go. (Glad we didn't see any ghosts - I'm not very brave!)

Anyway, after all that shopping and sightseeing we were feeling pretty tired. We went for a snack to finish off the day and then headed for home. I think next weekend we'll try the Magical tour and find out a bit more about the mysteries of Glastonbury and Stonehenge...
