This will interest the Downton Abbey fans. Yesterday we set off for Newbury around 12.30pm (west of London), arriving at Highclere Castle around 2.00pm. The pre booked tickets have sold out for the entire summer season but we were lucky enough to get "walk up" tickets at 2.00pm. After following the show for the last few seasons it was fabulous to have a good look around. I was very keen to go below stairs to the kitchen but it turns out the kitchen is a film set at the studio. Still we saw Countess Grantham's room and the bedrooms of Lady Sybil and Lady Edith.
In other news the girls are horse riding everyday this week and Ed is doing a Tennis clinic. Happy days!
Hi Nic
ReplyDeleteI hope you did your best Mrs Hughes impression. It would be so exciting to see that place in real life.
Geraldine my dear, you may address me as the Countess of Grantham. Mrs Hughes was not to be sighted anywhere, too busy below stairs one assumes !!!
