A Great Park (near Windsor)

We've made a couple of visits to a great park near Windsor, aptly called Windsor Great Park and we'd thought we share some more pics with you. It's a nice place for a walk, with trees, deers, statues (all your usual park stuff really) as well as the off chance of spotting a member of the royal family. Luckily we haven't seen anybody of note as yet, but we did hear some distant gunshots last time which we presume was Harry skylarking again.





This lot were taken back in October when the weather was still OK, the trees still had leaves, and the park had a nice autumnal feel.
Lucy is wearing her medal awarded at karate for getting her yellow/white belt. She was very proud and didn't take it off for weeks.

These shots were taken in late November when the weather was a bit cooler and trees had less leaves - nice colours though


That's Windsor Castle in the distance


And here we have Lucy in front of a humble little statue of King George III, known as The Copper Horse - presumably due to the metal from which the statue is made, or otherwise because George had a strange nickname. We like the invading Roman Emperor look.


The wording is in Latin, which is not one of our languages. Apparently it reads something along the lines of "King George III. Top Dad. Top King. Top Bloke." The statue was erected by George III's son, George IV, and apparently they didn't get on.


Big, isn't it?
That's the girls off to the left.


The walk from the Copper Horse Statue to Windsor Castle is known as The Long Walk - another fitting name
