Unlike my Travels To See Kasim Blog, this was a trip to Torbay just for fun and because I fancied a break. I’ve spent the last couple of months writing a book that is almost complete so I really needed a break from the laptop and a chance to spend a weekend away came up so I jumped at the opportunity.

(And the reason that I’m keeping this record is so that I can look back in years to come. It’ll also save me e-mailing my friends with details as I can just point them here!)

Sandringham House, Norfolk

4th July 2009

Saturday 4th July 2009
A few years ago (probably 15!) I visited a family member who lived near Sandringham House so I decided to pay another visit there as I was going to a gig in the area that evening.

It's a house that is privately owned by the Queen and is set in several acres of gardens. The house itself is relatvely small for a royal rsidence and you can look around some of the rooms on the ground floor. The guides there were really helpful and actually started talking to us as they wanted to tell us all about the house!

This is the smaller house on the estate where sometimes guests of the Queen will stay:

The last time I was here, you could get a clear photo of the house from this spot but all the trees have grown!

Sandringham Church
This is where the royal family worship when they are up here.
(It's about a five minute walk from the house)
