Windsor Castle

Last month, my beloved and I visited Windsor Castle. It is not to far away and we had never been there.









We had a lovely meal at The Boatman. It was warm and sunny, and we sat in the garden right on the river. Then we moseyed over the the castle, which was as grand as you can imagine.

St George's Chapel was gorgeous. The detail on the iron sanctuary gates (built c.1480) beggars belief. The work is so fine, it does not even look like iron.



And the vault for Princess Charlotte of Wales (1817) is stunning. It looks like any of the shrouded mourners might move at any moment.
