I have to go to Sydney tomorrow for the rest of the week. I'll be living in a motel in St Mary's and attending the TAFE to get training in Safety Ofiicering.
Not looking forward to this.

After Hatfield House, we headed to Beaconsfield to wander around Bekonscot Model Village - the first model village ever built.
This village was featured on Midsomer Murders, where the victim was left surrounded by the little towns people.
( Tiny houses, or giant people. )

Hatfield House does not permit photos inside, which sucked. It was very nice and had some impressive paintings. The original house was an Elizabethan palace, most of which was demolished to build the current house. Some of the Old Palace still exists.
I've been told the gardens are impressive as well, but that was an extra cost.
( A few photos. )

In a world where homeopathy was real... would we use water to flush the toilet?

The worst part of coming back to work is thinking "What was I doing this time last month?"
I was watching a big bunch of Morris Dancing sides have a Morris-off in Peterborough. And then I walked through a cathedral. And then I rode on the Nene Valley Railway.
Today I'm writing maintenance manuals. It's just not as interesting.
Q: Why do Morris Dancers wear bells?
A: So they can annoy blind people as well.

After not visiting the Queen in Sandringham, we headed to Blickling Hall.
Unusally for a manor, you are allowed to take photos inside.
( Lots of photos, of course )

From Castle Rising it is a short run to Sandringham where the Queen lives. She wasn't in that day, so they let us peasants in. No photos inside, though.
( More photos of a large house, some gardens, and a few old cars. )

And so Aaron & I headed off to Norfolk to visit a castle at Castle Rising - Castle Rising Castle - and a few other places.
The castle looks like this from the air
