Savill Garden
On a recent fine day we decided to head out to the Windsor area to visit Windsor Farm Shop. We didn’t buy anything from the shop but we did sit in the cafe so Mini-Me could eat a meat pie and since it would have been rude to let him eat by himself, we tucked into some delicious cake.
We then decided to drive across to the other side of Windsor in search of The Savill Garden as it was such a nice day. Unfortunately a certain Mr Bush was visiting the Queen at Windsor so the crowds were heavy in the town centre due to an abundance of security and a healthy batch of protesters. As we waited for the protesters to cross ahead of us there was a flurry of activity as helicopters began to take off from the castle grounds. This included Marine One which flew directly above our car as Mr Bush continued his visit to the UK.
We finally made our way past the crowds and followed the signs to the Gardens while various armed security personnel stood guard in the Windsor area. Due to the delays driving through Windsor we were later than planned getting to the Garden so we decided not to pay for entry into the Garden itself because we would then be rushed to walk around before the Garden closed. Instead we have a great time walking around the surrounding park land and looking at all the wildlife near the lake.
