Hi Dylan,
England is great! Yesterday, I went with my family to a famous castle – Windsor Castle. It’s 900
years old and it’s one of the homes of the Queen of England. The Queen usually goes to the castle
at weekends and on holidays.
The castle is beautiful. It’s very big, so we didn’t see all the rooms. There are 1,000 rooms and 160
people can sit around one table in the dining room. Can you believe it? We saw Queen Mary’s
doll’s house from 1924. It isn’t a house – it’s a miniature castle! It‘s got small chairs, tables,
carpets, beds and fireplaces. There is electricity and you can use the lamps. There is water in the
bathroom, too. Famous writers wrote special small books for the doll’s house. These little books
are on shelves in the library. You can read the books!
See you soon!
