Tickets for Crufts!

Friday night, after spending awhile on our computers trying to understand the pricing for tickets, Barb proposed that we set up a conference call to England to get all our questions answered.

It's amazing how easily we can misunderstand words in our own language. Their website indicated that "concessions" were 10 pounds, which led me to think that we'd have to pay an admission fee to enter the food court for a Coke and sandwich for lunch! Whhaaaaat? The Brit translation for that word means that they offer 10 pounds off for seniors or child tickets. Whew..... we like their translation much better!

It sits on the River Avon- but no moat is in evidence. I don't know if it ever had one. It doesn't appear like it now. Throughout the displays they dressed very realistic looking models in the clothes/ armor/ or tools of the period. It oftened seems like their eyes were looking at you. With the complex...
