Sandringham - 8th August


Fabulous does not come close enough to describing our visit to this royal abode. The grounds are gorgeous. The interiors have a very feminine feel to them which made a refreshing change to some of the more sober houses we had visited. The museum is great with the cars polished to a high gloss.
It was nice to see so many people enjoying the grounds. We saw games of football, tag, sunbathing, and picnicing going on. Juliet reckons that the only thing still needed is a maze.
I treated all of us to lunch and it was quite reasonably priced.Nik had to retreat indoors because the wasps made a bee-line for his jam !!!
There is a very pretty butterfly garden interspersed with formal hedge rooms. The butterflies and bees were very much in evidence much to the delight of one of the local ladies.
