Leeds Castle

Contrary to what its name implies, Leeds Castle is actually not in the city of Leeds in northern England.* Rather, it is in Kent — near a tiny village called Leeds — and it is an easy drive from London. Since my nephews, ages 5 and 6, really really really wanted to see a castle during our European vacation, we took a day-trip there.

When we arrived in Kent, there wasn't much snow to be seen. But just around lunchtime, it really started coming down. Of course, we had to take photos since we didn't think anyone would take our word for it that it was snowing:

Inside the castle — where it was nice and warm — I totally loved this bedroom:

There's so much color, texture and pattern in this room, yet it all works somehow.

* Thanks, Ian, for the clarification!
