Sandringham

We stayed at the Caravan Club site on Sandringham Estate.  Peace and quiet surrounded by forest and cooing pigeons. Five minutes from Sandringham House and grounds where the Queen spends Christmas.

It is an imposing country house, set in stunning grounds of lawns and giant trees. Inside it is her home, comfortable and at the same time grand and filled with treasures both from the Queen's life as well as history. Interesting that in her study, set into the skirting board, are many power outlets, telephone points and Internet connections. Some fascinating family photos grace tables and sideboards. The rooms face west with floor to ceiling French doors and windows, letting lots of light and allowing residents and visitors to admire the grounds.

We also enjoyed the museum, filled with royal automobiles from the past to more recent times. The history and photos of the house and it's occupants made very interesting reading.

In the evening, Marie and Kim Shearn arrived on their way to Cadwell Park. We enjoyed a few drinks outside in beautiful English summer weather.
