Sebastian parking the car
The entrance to the palace
(the imensity of it all is hard to capture)
In the Italian gardens
Enjoying the day out
Eating alfresco
Taking in the natural beauty of the lake, trees .....and Dad's face

Blenheim Palace
Last Saturday the family went to visit Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill. It's a magnificent and huge baroque palace, set in beautiful grounds just outside of Oxford that extend over 2,000 acres with lakes, lawns, parks and gardens. It was built for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, in the early 1700's in recognition of his leadership at the battle of Blenhiem (which is a fascinating piece of history but we won't go into it here).
