October 6, 2009 Megan and Peter arrive! I went to pick them up at Gatwick Airport, and then we headed over to Leeds Castle, which is only about 30 minutes from the airport.
It was a bit of a rainy day, but it added to the ambiance of the castle, which was mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 as a Saxon manor.
It was the private property of six of England's medieval queens and was used by Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. It was bought by an American heiress in 1926, who redecorated it extensively and lived in it until her death in 1974. The castle itself is beautiful and in a stunning setting; the grounds are also incredible.
