The Slow Train to Guildford

OK... we're getting a bit behind here, but here's some snaps of our day trip to Guildford with Nanny and Pa on Sat. 25th August.

We travelled by train, as we were too many for our good ol' Ford Mondeo, but it was a nice day for a train ride as you will notice. Guildford is only a couple of stops from West Byfleet, but on a busy Saturday morning you have to change at Woking. If you don't get from Platform 3 to Platform 5 in quick time, it can be a slow trip.


Here's the gang at Guildford Castle. Note the flower bed announcing "Guildford in Bloom".




The girls at the Castle gardens... still blooming nicely.




The castle remains.




View from the Castle. Apparently the author of Alice in Wonderland (Louis Carroll - from memory) lived in the house you can see below. There are several Alice statues scattered around the town.
