Wonderful Windsor!





Windsor kasteel is nie vir ons so mooi of nice soos Warrick kasteel nie, maar Johan het steeds reggekry om 'n paar beautiful foto's te neem!

Daar is 'n pophuis (Queen Mary's Dolls House) binne een van die kamers wat baie indrukwekkend is, aangesien alles daarbinne - die miniatuur ligte, hysbak, die krane - werk!

"
It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1924. Nearly every item in it was specially commissioned on a scale of twelve to one. The mechanical and engineering equipment is made to work, including the water system, the electric lights and the two lifts. Can you imagine the fun the children could have had sending the baby up on the lift for its evening bath, drying it off with small hand towels, then putting it to bed? The front foyer here has working chandeliers and the grandfather clock chimes on the hour. The paintings throughout the house were commissioned from well-known artists. Marble tiled floors and walls create a real castle appeal. The hand carved ceiling is etched in gold leaf."
