Tea with Miss Bennett and a trip to Warwick Castle

Miss Bennett is actually Dr. Bennett, but I like the "Pride & Prejudice" vibe of "Miss" Bennett. Out of respect to her hard-earned title, however, I'll refer to her from here as Dr. Bennett.

At this point I don't remember the order in which these events happened, but they were on two separate days: tea on one day, Warwick the next.

Here are some pictures from the delightful High Tea that we had at a very charming tea room.

I had Jasmine Green Tea. It was delicious.

The next day, 6 of us went to Warwick Castle. (Me, Professor Connery, Jenny, Amanda, Holly, and Morgan.) It was really cool and I felt like I should've been in costume. There was a joust and some hand-to-hand combat and a demonstration of a massive trebuchet flinging some sort of flaming projectile across a small lake. Inside the castle was a ton of really intriguing history and a whole bunch of posed mannequins that never failed to startle me when I walked into a room because they looked so lifelike.

Here's just a little bit of the castle grounds:

Above is our group with two costumed employees whose purposes were unclear.

These were the two jousters that I was rooting for, Richard and George who represented the Lancasters. Who may have been the family that lived in Warwick for a while.

Here's a photo of myself and Morgan in a castle turret, taken from ground-level:

This is just some of the beautiful foliage from the castle grounds.

Here are the two guys who did some one-on-one fighting:

Some of the unsettling mannequins:

And finally, I went to the Lost Child Point when I couldn't find the rest of the group and they made me pose for a photo when they found me, possibly because of my tendency to wander off and get separated from the group like the time that we went to Westminster and when Jenny called me from outside the abbey I was on the other side of the Thames.
