Queen Victoria's Frogmore House and the Queen's 'Farm Stall'.

Some organic vegetables from the Queen's estate in her Farm Stall. Beuatiful Pork Pies and all sorts of pies and other scrumptious foods as well.
Gate House and garden at the entrance to Queen Victoria's Frogmore House. It is open for 2 days in May and 3 in August. I just happened to be there. Yay!

Another shot of the famous flower stands and ahnging baskets of Windsor.


Queen Victoria and Prince Albert lie here in this tomb. It is no longer open to the public.

The following photographs are all from the gardens at Frogmore House. They are extensive and full of magnificent trees. What I enjoy is that they continue to plant trees. There are some that are ancient and old growth, specially oaks. Amongst the oaks are trees from the colonies as well as new ones over the years right up to this past Spring.




Frogmore House

The 'Faux ruins' which include a beautiful little Chapel

An example of the magnificent very old English roses in Queen Victoria's garden in front of Frogmore House. The scent is amazing even from this distance.

An example of a capitalin the foyer of Frogmore House. Exquisite detail.

Elaborate curtains in one of the smaller reception rooms.

The Long Room overlooking the lake and magnificent gardens. At this point I was stopped from taking any more interior shots. I was using High Sensitivity with no flash!

The main entrance of Frogmore House.




A group of shots of the House from the gardens.

The rear of the Mauseleum and in the gardens under the tree on the left are the graves of King Edward and his commoner wife, Wallis Simpson. I am happy they were laid to rest with his ancestors.

One of the Great trees planted by Queen Victoria. A Spruce. Look at the size compared to the little child.
I will continue with the next blog shortly. The journey in England continues 1274 pictures later!
