Guildford - England 2002
Guildford is a really cool town that dates back to the 800s. It's
where Sally's family on the Hughes side calls home (or near enough
- technically speaking they call Godalming home, but everyone in
Godalming either works or shops in Guildford, so there you go.)
We stayed in an Edwardian house (circa 1700s) called Blanes Court.

This is the front of Blanes. Our room is viewable in the
picture - it's on the second floor, the bay windows to the
right of the front door. The entire house was painted and
decorated very nicely, and they served wonderful english breakfasts
every morning.

This is the back of Blanes. It's downloaded
from their web site (apologies to Blanes). The backyard is
huge.

Blanes has a little children's pool with a
slide. The kids had a terffic time!

Here's a stitched panorama of our family room.
See how many places Sami appears.

Guildford

Guildford's main street is High Street, and
still has the original cobble stones from hundreds of years
ago. It also has many buildings dating from the 1400s and
1500s, including a few medieval undercrofts that can be toured.
|
|
Guildford also has an old castle and palace,
of which only the keep is visible today. It was undergoing
some internal restoration so we could only tour the outside
when we where there.

There was a large chess board in the grass.
