I would also love to see this palace in person and appreciate you sharing it with us.<br /><br />I wanted to know if you know of any wonderful places for two American ladies to stay on a trip to England and what places you would recommend they visit. One of my sister's best friends wants to rent a cottage or a place in the countryside and isn't sure what to tour first. Do you have any recommendations?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604873252635604126.post-91285134113584960092014-12-03T06:09:01.107+00:002014-12-03T06:09:01.107+00:00SO beautiful every picture makes me want to come v...SO beautiful every picture makes me want to come visit.

I was wondering how hard it would be for the servants to smell all the delicious aromas of roasting meats, and probably not getting much till the chores were finished. Love the wine cellar, probably the most worn steps in the whole castle. I wonder if you sensed a ghost down that alley? Your photo of it gives it a certain chill. Another beautiful post Chel, and a wonderful castle.
