We recently won entrance tickets to Hever Castle in Kent (a thirteenth century castle that was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn) in a raffle so after lunch as the sun was shining we headed off to see where the princesses live!
I have fond memories of Hever Castle from visits as a child but I did not remember just how stunning and beautiful the grounds are - some of the views really blow you away. Daisy and Sam had a great time walking, running and rambling around the grounds. We did a very quick tour of the castle and I mean quick as Sam thought it was great fun to run the other side of the ropes in most of the rooms! Tim and Daisy tried out the maze and had more trouble getting out than finding the middle. All in all a great place to visit if the weather is good.
This evening Tim and I are cheering on England in the Rugby 2007 World Cup final against South Africa in Paris! How different to the 2003 world cup final when we were travelling the world without children and cheered England to victory on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, Australia. Tonight, the 2007 final we are tucked up in our warm home in Hove, England with our two little beautiful people asleep upstairs.
