The flight from Beijing to London was pretty easy. The fight path crosses Siberia and northern Europe and it’s surprising the detail you can see from 39,000ft. As we crossed the coast just north of Amsterdam we could quite clearly make out the windmill farm in the sea.
We had a nice tour of Windsor on Thursday evening and had planned to go out to dinner with Wayne and Fiona but the kids crashed at about six. We were all asleep by eight but unfortunately all awake again by 2:15 the next morning. BBC kids TV is not very entertaining at that time of day!
Windsor Castle was our focus on Friday morning. We all came away more impressed than we expected to be. Walking through the interior of one wing it was easy to understand why the English are so into their traditions and the Royal Family. When the Empire was at its peak the British Royalty must have been viewed as the centre of the universe.
