Being a sunday in the summer holidays the whole place was pretty busy with tourists and since it was nice weather we decided to give the inside of the palace a miss and wander round the gardens instead. We had to buy a ticket for this but this meant we got to hear beautiful classical music whilst walking between the lovely fountains and pristinely cut grass. The scale of the gardens matches that of the palace, and you could even rent golf buggies to get around and save your feet the long walks. I couldn't remember the last time I had been to a castle or something stately like this and it was actually so refreshing and nice to do something outside.
Whilst taking in the views, the music, the sunshine, we had time to ponder about things. We decided that modern day is missing traditional dancing, that our dancing has evolved into something really quite horrible in comparison to the elegant dances of the 16/17th century and that this needs to be changed. So I have decided that I want to have a proper ball, at some point in the near future, and everyone has to learn proper dances, and dress properly, and I will hire out Versailles to host it, and we will eat macaroons and drink champagne to classical music.
P.S. Dad, you had better start saving for my party.
