Sandringham ~ Norfolk

What a stately pile Rosa ~ the horse Estimate looks well at home ~ All the best ~ Nick

Thank you Nick. The horse must have been one of the favourites to warrant such a position.
All the best ~ Rosa.

I presume this would not normally be open to the public, was it an open day? Very impressive.

We were told by the stewards that the Queen will often stay in one of the cottages but it seems to me that it is open to the public most of the time. The gardens since 1908, museum since 1930 and the house from 1977. There is also a road going through the estate. I did notice some security cameras, but that is a must nowadays. Thank you for your great comments.

Allemaal even mooi

Thank you Fred.

Smashing series of images Rosa. I like the PiP's of the horse statue most.

Thank you Doug. I thought the horse was beautiful too.

A wonderful set of images Rosalyn, I have the thought that I have been there but your photos don't look familiar, it would have been a long time ago

Well worth a visit Peter. Thank you for your kind comments.

A very nice presentation !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

Mixing with the Royals now then Rosa - I always thought there must be blue blood in your veins !!!!
Great shots by the way.

Well I am going to Windsor on Sunday Jeff ;o)

Cracking shot, Rosa, great PiP's too.

Thank you very much John. It's so much easier when the weather is good :-))

Wow a new attraction to me, we visited there many years ago before this horse was born I would think.

The horse was placed very well I thought Maurice. We enjoyed the visit very much. Lots to see and do.

Hello Rosa!! Im enjoying your series from your holiday.... you certainly have a great set of photos from the Norfolk area. NOW off to Windsor! :) your're quite the traveler Rosa:))
Have a good week as you prepare for WINDSOR, tell the Queen hello! Sarah

Hello Sarah, we had such a great time thank you. Yes, Windsor on Sunday for a look around the castle and them afternoon tea on the River Thames....if I see the Queen I will say Hi ;-)) I'm practising my curtsy ;o) All the best, Rosa.

Beautiful castle view with the sculpture in foreground, nice compositions !
All the best
Fabio

Thank you for your very kind words Fabio, much appreciated.
All the best, Rosa.

Ahhh Sandringham.....the Queens christmas domicile!
When I see those pictures, again I´m sure I have to visit your lovely country, Rosa!

My first time visiting Sandringham Tanja. I have been to Norfolk before and liked it very much....if you ever visit, please avoid Great Yarmouth! Cromer was beautiful and I will be putting pictures of it soon. I am still looking through them at the moment :-))

Hello Rosa a lovely series of shots from the Queens humble abode in Norfolk .. it looks like she even has to sit outside on a bench to get a phone signal :))

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve,

Ha ha...if only! Wouldn't that have made a great picture ;-))

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Very nice picture, and my thought was the same as Steve's.. Her Majesty is sitting on the bench with a red coat on...
Unfortunately she wasn't there on the day I visited. Had to visit Parliament or some such excuse...!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your kind comments and taking the trouble to visit my gallery from Sandringham. I don't know....always excuses from Her Majesty ;-))

Best wishes, Rosa.

My goodness, did you knock on the door? Beautiful shots, Rosa.

I did better than that Diane....I went inside! Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pic's but next time I see a photo of the Royal family in their beautiful sitting/dining room, I will just say, I've been in there ;-))

That the Queen has a horse sculpture doesn't surprise me at all, Estimate has probably earned her quite a bit of money;-)
