Decided to take a 2 night trip to Chertsey C&CC site. One of our favourites. The reason this time was to see Queen Annes Dolls House. We left home 0800hrs. Stopped at Mersham Hatch to visit the "Boot Fair" then "Sainsburys" in Ashford for breakfast and provisions. Easy drive to Chertsey in lovely weather, arrived at 1200hrs. Site was quite busy but we got a nice pitch.
We then took a stroll into town for a couple of beers. Evening spent with a bit of tv and reading.
April 7th.
Caught the bus to Staines then train to Windsor. When we got there they had just completed changing the guard, so we saw the off going marching through town.
Bought a baguette each from a sandwich shop, then headed for the castle. Very long queues but I had bought our tickets online and printed them before leaving home. Of all the hundreds of times I've been to Windsor this was the first time visiting the castle.
We made our way straight to the dolls house, both of us were not really that impressed, but at least now when customers ask we can say we have seen it. Sadly it was a strictly enforced no photo policy, so there are none here.
We did take a stroll round the other displays, again no photos, before looking round the gardens.
All very well kept, but, no doubt an army of gardeners looking after them. On the way to the exit passsed this non public area.
Usual trip round the shops then back to Chertsey and a couple of beers. Back to Eevie where we had dinner and some Rum for me and wine for Hazel.
April 8th.
Homeward bound, left site 1045 hrs and home 1230hrs. Another trip done.
