Hillsborough

Below are some pictures from our trip to Hillsborough last Friday. Doug and his wife, Elaine, took us there on a short day trip. We walked around the castle which is where the queen will still stay on her visits. I don't remember all the history, but I remember how walking around the lake made me think of Furman and home. It even had swans! All of the swans in the UK are protected by law because technically they belong to the queen. It was a beautiful day and it felt liberating to breathe deeply and to see water and wildlife. If only for a moment, my ache for South Carolina sun and Lake Keowee were a little calmer.
