Windsor Castle
is the oldest inhabited castle in the country and the preferred London residence of the Royal Family. It stands in beautiful grounds on the western edge of London, and is one of the best places for a day trip from the capital. It's easy to see why the Royals love their Windsor home. The Royal Parks are extremely wild and lovely, and teeming with deer. There are hundreds of quiet beauty spots to be found if you take your time. The castle itself is truly majestic - solid, imposing and at the same time graceful. Visitors can check out the State Apartments, Queen Mary's Doll House collection, and the magnificent St George's Chapel, festooned in the banners of Knights of the Kingdom, from the Crusading era to that of Margaret Thatcher. One of the best features of the castle is walking around the ramparts, feeling the ancient stone under your feet and looking out over the parks. Windsor is a magical place - one visit is never enough.

This trip was a wonderful one for me as I have finally met a friend who I haven't been seeing for over 8 years, she left Malaysia to study in Ireland in year 2001, she works in UK after completing her studies. There're few times she went back to Malaysia but we didn't have the opportunity to meet each other. Yean Nee(Renee) used to be my close friend when she studies in Disted Stamford College Penang, I was the one who always help her whenever she needs. We're both members of Chinese Orchestra and there're where we knew each other and started our friendship. Time flies, 8 years have never been short and I am really glad that until today we are still keeping in touch and the most importantly we are still treating each other as good friends. Next year(2010) we're gonna be celebrating our 10 years friendship.
Do take care always my dearest friend, I am gonna miss you ^_^
