Loving Leeds Castle and Business

Our visiting family loved Leeds Castle so much that we drove back on Saturday. We had spent £5 extra for the Annual Pass, so we got in for free this time. We took lots of photos and we had been warned that the grounds would close at 2pm. We walked up to the castle at 1pm and they didn't let us in because the castle closed at 1pm. Unfortunately we had missed that message, but we still had a great time walking the grounds.

My daughters wore matching bright yellow shirts that said I love London. When we walked through the gardens there were little black bugs that were highly attracted to the yellow, so they were half covered in those bugs. We even noticed a yellow plastic water cooler was also completely covered. Sure it was a little gross, but we had a little laugh about it and moved through the gardens pretty quick.

On a business note, I noticed that Chinese investors bought a popular pizza chain here in the UK. I remember those same investors buying a popular food chain in America too, I find that very interesting on an international note.

Continuing the business theme, we noticed the CEO of Mind Candy is stepping down. That's the company that makes several very popular games for kids, my daughter loves them (remember she took a tour of their HQ in London).I noticed the press release said they'd like to grow the American market, so I wrote my friend at Mind Candy and said my daughter would love to help in any way :)

She wrote me right back and said very nice things about my daughter. I guess we'll see where that goes.
