What a dreadful post office. Convenient, in the town centre, sure. But always a miserable…read moreexperience unless you have the rare luck of walking in and finding a very short queue! Usually, the staff levels are set so you will queue, often back to the door in stifling heat. Lots of windows for staff, but you'll never see more than five of the eight or more booths occupied. One time in four, you'll hear customers moaning, trying to get a group moan going after waiting fifteen minutes only to see staff just walk away from their position. I know they need breaks but it comes back to management here perpetually staffing this place inadequately. Though I will say, their core staff are a mature, confident and efficient bunch. Once you reach them. By the time of which you do though, you are so fed up.

It's a long narrow shop with not much room to display any other products so you have to look for jiffy bags and packaging an grab it as you queue up. There can be long queues at lunchtimes but they move quickly and the staff are efficient and helpful. It is positioned at the top of the pedestrianized section of Bracknell town centre. There is therefore no parking immediately outside but plenty of car parking a short walk away. It has both steps and a sloping entrance so is accessable for wheelchairs/ buggies but somewhat narrow inside.

They also gave me a free book bag filled with books and other goodies for him. The children's section itself is a little disappointing as many of the books look a little worse for wear and there are not that many interesting titles and not much variety. The DVD section is a little better. I also feel that it is not located in a very good position as it is close to the computers were adults are busily working away obviously getting a little annoyed at the noise of the children.

I had the most amazing experience at Farnham Castle, it is certainly in my top 5 highlights of…read morebetween the 5 trips I've made to England. I was staying in Farnham for a friend's wedding (not at the castle, though you can book it for your special day). I was on my way up the hill when it started raining - the only time it rained during the day in my 15-day journey! I saw online the venue was open to tour until 4pm and it was approximately 2:30pm by the time I made it up the hill. I went to where the sign said tours begin and there were many ladies huddled inside. They were very sad to inform me the tours were done for the day and they were headed home. Completely understandable, I said I could come back another day..... Apparently I could not return another day. The castle is only open on Wednesdays for visitors during very specific hours. And not every Wednesday. I think the look of disappointment prompted one lady, Mavis, to offer to do a "quick" little tour. Mavis isn't your ordinary tour guide - she grew up on the property and is a wealth of knowledge. My super intimate (and not "quick" tour) was full of first-hand knoweledge, her descriptions were so articulate and captivating - I felt like I was transported back in time and reliving her youth alongside her while exploring the different parts of this historic site during the warm summer rain. I feel the photo I attached to this review is exactly the same as what she saw many decades before I was born. As the tower is under necessary repairs, we were unable to venture inside. Mavis is, hands down, the best tour guide of all time. Between her knowledge, love of history, animals, and the natural world, she is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Beautiful inside and out, I could have chatted with her for hours! I told her she should host a tv show, especially considering she has travel across the world. I feel incredibly blessed to have had this experience and highly recommend the tour - just make sure you are there on a Wednesday when they are open ;)

As far as English Heritage castles go, Farnham castle is relatively small, (although this should be…read moreexpected as it is actually only a keep and not really a castle). However what is there is extremely well presented with lots of visual and aural aids. You enter the site through a small corridor which has visual time board displays of the history of the keep and under a picture of the castle a button to start a sound recording detailing the Keeps history throughout the ages. Unfortunately this was another one of the many English fortifications that suffered at the hands of Cromwell at the end of the civil war, which resulted in the removal of all of its towers and main defensive positions. As a result it looks nothing like it would have done in its glory days, however the visaul aids provide a great insight into how the castle would have looked. First built in 1138 by Henri de Blois, grandson of William the Conqueror, Bishop of Winchester, the castle was to become the home of the Bishops of Winchester for over 800 years. The original building was demolished by Henry II in 1155 after the Anarchy and then rebuilt in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The castle was slighted again after the Civil War in 1648. Since then more buildings have been constructed in the castle's grounds, the most impressive being those built by Bishop George Morley in the 17th century. The castle is free to enter with free parking and although there is no shop or anywhere to purchase refreshments, they have at least seen to providing a very clean WC.
