Bob and I spent Tuesday at Woodstock — nobody’s farm and no music. This Woodstock is a small town in Oxfordshire, England. We were there to visit Blenheim Palace, the principal residence of the Duke of Marlborough and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. It was originally built as a reward to John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, for the Duke’s military triumphs against the French and Bavarians in the Battle of Blenheim during the war of Spanish succession.
We toured the exhibit on Winston Churchill who was made an honorary American by President Kennedy, an exhibit on fashion, and the animated tour on the history of the home and family. We also explored the expansive grounds.
The palace is beautiful and has been the setting for some fashion shows for Dior. The grounds are also amazing.
