Royal Holloway (most beautiful school ever!)

Tracy Mason and I had a great time yesterday when Kat and her family invited us to go on a tour of Royal Holloway University.  It is an incredible school that has so much history to it.  It started as an all girls school way back in the day but now is male and female.  Queen Victoria helped in the opening ceremonies of this all girls school in 1886, however she did not really do it that willingly.  They had to send her three different letters asking her to be involved in the ceremonies because she kept refusing.  She did not believe in higher education for women at the time.

Obviously I needed to pick it up!!
