England 2004

This summer we travelled to England for two weeks. The first week was spent at Knowle Manor, where we met up with 30 other travellers from Fieldstone Riding Club for 5 days of hacking through the countryside and jumping cross country fences.

We then spent a few days at Thornbury Castle (only middling old, built during Henry VIII's time). To go look at a somewhat older castle, we drove to Wales for the day to see Caerphilly Castle. We also drove back to Somerset to the Cheddar Gorge, where the eponymous cheese comes from.

We then drove to see some of Sally's relatives in Guildford, Surrey and stopped to see the Uffington White Horse, a prehistoric monument. While staying in Guildford, we drove up to see Windsor Castle At the end of our trip we stayed at a nice hotel in London and did a bit of sightseeing. Finally, we returned home (on the flight of eternal lunchtime)
