We had a great day at Belvoir Castle. It was about an hours drive. His Grace the Duke and Her Grace the Duchess of Rutland and their 5 children still live at the castle. You walk around the back and see the children’s bikes and motor scooters. Funny.
It was originally built in the 1100s. You see two levels of the castle and can walk the extensive grounds. The beautiful peacocks let you get very close and we “chatted” with the noisy lambs. Also, there is a restaurant on site. These are the days I fantasized about when I thought of moving to Europe.
To top off the day, I drove the whole way to the castle! We all survived. My hands actually hurt from clutching the steering wheel. I am not sure who was more stressed, VW or I???? I am really feeling more comfortable these days with the idea of driving. (The desire for independence will do that I suppose.)
