We went to Blenheim Palace. It was raining pretty hard when we arrived, but it cleared up a little by the end of the day, still gloomy but at least no rain. I loved the building and the grounds. We went on a tour of the rooms, but as it is also a private residence, with a lot of the houses we see, we did not see a lot of the rooms. The rooms were very extravagant and there was so much stuff and gold leaf and decoration. They were pretty but very overwhelming. I really loved the outside of the building though, very pretty. The grounds were large and my favorite was the secret garden. We were told to eat "cream tea" or i don't know exactly how it is spelt, but it is this roll type thing and you put clotted cream (which is like butter) and jam on it. It was supposed to be great, my opinion, so, so, not worth the £2.75 we paid for it. Luckily I halved it with Jesi, so it wasn't a total waste, but she didn't think it was that great either. Jesi and I walked the gardens for a long time, everyone else left pretty early. We went into the butterfly house and we did a hedge maze. It was fun but the main gate was locked by the time we left so we had to walk around to the side gate. It was a small adventure. But it was fun.
