Kenilworth Castle

While some of us (well maybe only one) were hard at work solving networking problems, others went off for a jaunt to Kenilworth Castle.

It was a dark and stormy night. No wait, it was cold, but not stormy (at first). We bumped into Rupert (now from Brisbane) in the ticket office, much to the amazement of the man at the desk. We enjoyed the audio tour. And we had a guided tour too, of the Leicester's Gatehouse, from a very enthusiastic young English lass, showing us very impressive furnishings, panelling, alabaster fireplaces, etc. Then we walked around the rest of the lovely red brick ruins. The girls put together a tudor Rose stained glass window puzzle, while Christopher slept a bit. The rain came just as we left. It was enough to deter us from stopping for lunch at Kenilworth town itself, and instead we went home.
