I’ve been back from my trip to Kent for a few days now, but only now am I finding the time to upload my pics :p Kent was such a beautiful place and I enjoyed all the places I visited (Tumbridge Wells, Great Dixter & Sissinghurst House) but of course, Hever Castle was the highlight. I can’t explain the feeling I felt when I was walking up to the castle it was so surreal and being in Anne Boleyn’s bedroom and walking around the corridors she must have walked herself was just amazing!
In her bedroom they still have part of her bed, which despite the “Do not touch” sign I did touch hehe I had to. They also have her book of hours which she has ominously wrote “The time will come” in, seeing her books and her inscriptions in them gave me a little shiver, sad I know, but I love her haha. They also have some of Henry VIII’s locks scattered around the house, apparently he took them wherever he went for extra special security :p
No pictures were allowed in the house but there was such a beautiful stained glass window with Anne’s coat of arms on which read “Queen Anne Boleyn, 1533″ underneath so I had to be sneaky and get a picture of that. Thats on my phone though so I shall upload that another time. There was also a fake Henry & Anne that came parading out of the castle to lead the public up to the tilt yard for the jousting. The fake Anne was blonde so I wasn’t too impressed with that but the Henry was cool, I pushed passed all the kids and followed them as closely as I could to the jousting lol.
Anyway, this is turning into an essay, so here are my pics. Just ignore me on them, I have a tendency to ruin any picture I’m in!
