Spent my birthday at Highclere Castle (better known as Downton Abbey..tv series) Earl Canarvon V (George Herbert) and Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun's tomb . There was a very impressive Egyptian collection most of it replicates the originals being in the Egyptian museum. The castle had very large grounds attached to it. When we arrived at 9.30am we were number 2 car when we came back at lunch time there must have been about 500 cars and several buses. We are at the White Hart Inn in Andover to-night. We decided to put all the things we needed for the night in a small bag and leave the rest of our things in the car, just as well, we had quite an adventure getting to our room, up stairs down narrow corridors to a nice little attic room.(I can imagine smugglers visiting here)
We had a very nice meal to finish off the day with. I had Fidget Pie ( pork with apple cider sauce) Ted had Turkey Pie, with custard tart and I had trifle sundae. Very nice finish to my birthday.
