Merle had the most delicious looking chocolate croissant the other morning, that I decided that I had to have one. So this morning I went to the Small restaurant on Bloomsbury, and I should have been buying my coffee there as it is 50 p. cheaper than where I have been going. Did not get the croissant, but instead I chose a granola type bar TOTALLY COVERED WITH CHOCOLATE. I had it with my lunch and Merle it rocked. Thanks.
The audio tour definitely helped with the knowledge of the Castle. Carolyn and I went to the Religious Tapestry showing where they lit up the gold and silver threads of this one of eleven religious tapestries King Henry had commissioned.
The technology to do so had taken them 5 years to develop so it would show in a darkened room, because over the years the gold and silver threads had tarnished and would have appeared blackened to the guests. Queen Elizabeth liked it so much that she had it moved as she travelled. The huge wall covering tapestry took less time to make by an all man team from Brussels who spent two years, than the technology took to show it. The tapestry is over 500 years old and the technology to view it will be ancient in six months to one year. Situational irony right?
Carolyn and I had fun in the kitchen before we left also Dillan. The pretend "Boiling Soup" and the "Chopping of the knives were quite realistic.
