Royal Dead Dudes!!

After getting in early Saturday morning, we spent most of the day napping, doing laundry and generally resting before heading out for dinner in Soho. We went to a vegetarian restaurant (Troy's bf is vegan) and had a noice moil. I had a lovely Aubergine and tomato curry which could only have been improved with a bit of meat in it! Aftewards it was a quick drink at a local bar before going back to Troy's place where his flatties, Jen and Steph were having a few bottles of red wine and singing their way through the I-Pod. Well, what else was there to do but join in eh? The 3 of us soon worked out way through 3 bottles of Merlot and The Carpenters Greatest Hits :), as well as some great duets from Moulin Rouge and some great medley's from Sister Act... Luckily for us, they live above a pub and we could blame the noise on "a bad kareoke contest we think was happening downstairs"... Sunday we headed to see the Tower of London which was V interesting and saw the torture chamber and various rooms old royal dead dudes lived in, one of which was Henry VIII and we also saw where Anne Boylen was beheaded. All very historical and all a bit nice really. Today, we headed to the country to Kent to see Leeds Castle which was beautiful. The weather was crap and cold and raining most of the day but it had the upside of keeping the hordes of tourists away. Leeds Castle was another of Henry VIII's residences at one time, as well as Elizabeth I and a heap more royal dead dudes. We sauntered through the gardens of the massive estate and got lost in the labyrynth of hedges in the grounds. Running about, in the rain and trying to find the middle which was elevated and let you look over the maze...

All very cool and definitely a place to out on the "please come again" list for next time!
