Many years ago, I was on cloud nine. A proud possessor of a toy set that my dad gifted. The ‘Royal guards of London’ he said.
Decades later, I saw that toy set come alive. The Queens Guards. Walking more with an elegant ease than synchrony. And guarding more than just the crown jewels : a tradition.

The London Eye. Well, it is more than a mere wheel on the Thames. It is an ‘iconjc’ landmark as the guide would want me to believe.

The longest inhabited royal household! Windsor Castle.
Arches, whorls, wood, stone all stand in attention as they house articles of interest to a teeming set of visitors. Signifying grandeur, victory, military might and a rich narrative that spans a few generations. “The preferred weekend residence of the Queen” I am told. Well, everybody has their own preferences! So does royalty.

It has a history that is historical to say the least. It has heritage, culture, reeks stories and artefacts of several centuries. It would take several weeks to get a grip of the place.
And then someone calls up and says, ‘ah, the Abbey, that’s were the Royal marriages take place right? ’ reducing it to marriage hall in a swipe of a statement!

The New Inn at Shalfleet offers an excellent set of choices. You could have a sumptuous meal and just step outside to watch the old village road hosting modern wheels!
