Osborne
Virginia and I have had a week on the Isle of Wight, staying at a B&B in Shorwell. I think she enjoyed it more than I did. We went and saw Osborne House where Queen Victoria liked hanging out. The excerpts from her diaries in various places made her seem almost like a normal person... the overpowering opulence and movie set nature of the place counteracted that. For me the monarchy has had its day.
