SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL

On Tuesday we loaded up  and headed to Blenheim...the family home of Winston Churchill.  It is a “palace” and NOT a “castle” we were told.  It is the principal residence of the Duke of Marlborough.  Geez!  No wonder his house is so big when a pack of cigarettes over here is 13 pounds...😉

Wow!  The janitor needs a really big key ring for all of his keys here...

Some photos inside Blenheim Palace... Yep...looks like a palace to me!!!!  

A cradle similar to the one Jabet and Caldwell slept in when they were babies...

A letter from “The Don”...

A proclamation  signed by President John F. Kennedy granting Sir Winston honorary citizenship in the U.S.....

A few more self explanatory photos...

And finally a selfie with one of the 30 clocks in the palace...

After touring the palace off we went on a wild goose chase to find the cemetery where Sir Winston was buried.  Bingo...

St. Martin’s Church at the cemetery...

The wild goose chase was over...where’s the closest pub? 

Catch you on the flip flop...
