Blast from the past - me at Hever Castle - July 2006

I was a mere 38 at the time & no sign of a beard at the time (but I would shortly win the battle with my ex over growing one)

We have numerous depictions of her, but mostly posthumous. Aside from the Most Happi medal, nothing is confirmed from her lifetime. The #Hever portrait is probably the most accurate we have of her. 4/5

In 1983 #Hever was sold to the chair of the company that now runs the castle as a museum, event space and bed & breakfast. 7/7

A visit to Hever Castle yesterday, plenty going on bird-wise. Great Crested Grebes nest building, Egyptian Geese with young, Grey Wagtails and a Kingfisher fly-by. #Hever #Kent
