Day Six

The next day, of course, was THE big day! Coronation day in England! Most of us were up very early to begin watching all the festivities. The whole day was spent glued to the screen. We had a celebration buffet lunch with champagne and then we had a walking tour of Hever church, which is where Thomas Boleyn is buried. It had begun to get cold and wet -- true England weather -- and I caught a cold on this tour. However, I took my medicine and kept trooping! A lot of others also had it and I think it was due to it suddenly getting cold, grey, and damp. That evening, the historians on the tour, who were staying at a home on the property, invited us for cocktails, and then we had a barbecue on the lawn at Hever Castle.




What a  memorable day!
