Windsor Castle
My two Support Workers and I went to Windsor on Friday. None of us had been before, and we were thrilled when we entered the Castle and the man at the gate told us the King was in residence. (I, of course, said it was because we were there! 😊)
The closest we came to a royal sighting was a Policeman with a submachine gun standing outside, and…

Hi there,
Sounds like a lovely trip you’ve got planned! Just to set expectations — Fort William itself is a fairly ordinary town without a huge number of “things to do,” but the nature around it is absolutely spectacular.
