You won't see them in Word's File Open and Save dialogs if you have the file
type set to All Word Documents rather than All Files. I don't think you can hide them in Windows Explorer (except perhaps by hiding Hidden and System files, though I think that affects just the temp files). -- Suzanne S.

Our last full day there was Sunday. It was *glorious*--a shame we spent so
much of it inside: at church, in the car, in the State Apartments at Windsor Castle. But we did enjoy walking around Windsor, across the footbridge to Eton, etc., and got lots of good pictures. It was balmy when we got in the car at 5:30 Monday morning to leave for Gatwick. We also had a very nice day in Dover last Thursday but regrettably spent an hour or so of the best of it underground, in the Secret Wartime Tunnels. Again, though, the photos taken outside had blue sky and fluffy clouds--quite a contrast to our gloomy photos of Trafalgar Square (and London generally) the previous Saturday and everything in York, Edinburgh, Oxford, etc. At least it wasn't *actually* raining when we were climbing up to Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. The absolute worst was at Stonehenge--biting cold, pelting rain, and gale-force winds--which did nothing to allay our general disappointment over Stonehenge itself (apparently a typical tourist reaction, though we would doubtless have been more charitably inclined on a milder summer day). It is steamy here now, making us rather nostalgic about the bracing weather we left behind. -- Suzanne S.

I actually work and live nearly in the shadow of Windsor Castle!
I understand about Stonehenge, I took the chilkdren there last year and they were totally under-impressed, shame. I'll take them again when they are older. The boys do enjoy going round Windsor Castle though. My little girl is still too young really to know what is going on. I worked in Edinburgh for two years some time back and have great memories, lovely city. Glad you had a good time. All the best DeanH "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Our last full day there was Sunday.

Although the stones at Stonehenge are still impressive (and I wouldn't want
to detract from the amazing feat of bringing them there and levering them into position), they are just a lot smaller than expected, and there is no way for the ordinary tourist to capture that fact in a photo because you're not allowed to get close enough to show a human being next to one of the stones for scale. As we drove up, Barney said, "Somehow I'd always imagined them bigger," and Virginia (our daughter) said, "Yes, when we brought Sadie [college friend], she said, 'If I'd known this was all it was, I wouldn't have bothered to come.'" Barney did do the entire tour, listening to every bit of the audio guide, and took numerous photos, despite the wind and rain. The wind was so fierce that umbrellas were useless, as they kept turning inside-out, and even when they didn't, the buffeting was so loud that one couldn't hear the audio guide over the noise. Virginia and Fionn immediately retreated to the car to eat their sandwiches; I stuck it out a little longer, taking a few damp photos, and then retreated to the gift shop, where it was warm and dry. At Windsor, because the queen was in residence, there were some rooms we didn't see, and St. George's Chapel was closed to tourists because it was Sunday, but we did attend evensong (though it turned out to be "Evening Prayers with Hymns," without a choir, which was a bit of a trial), so we saw some of the interior. As a bonus, when we came out, the guard was changing (which supposedly doesn't happen on Sundays, but I guess it just doesn't happen while the castle is open to tourists), so that was fun. -- Suzanne S.

When I was young, my family went to Stonehenge and we were able to walk round
them and touch them which I have always remembered. I must admit the restriction is disappointing as you do seem to be so far away from them to really get the feeling of them. Recently my brother had a helicopter trip over the area, he said that was amazing to get overall topology and you get the real sense of the stone's importance in the landscape, especially as my brother said that you can just make out the River Severn where the Blue Stones had to cross to come from Wales. I understand that the audio guide is very instructive and well worth a go, but when I have three little ones to herd, it would have been a waste of time ;-) My wife often goes to St George Chapel for services with the children and thoroughly enjoys the atmosphere. The changing of the guard is a regular occurance, but it can vary with the amount of flair it is carried out with depending on the Sergeant on duty! :-) "Suzanne S.

I can understand the reasons for keeping tourists well away from the stones
(they'd eventually be rubbed into nubs, and I think they probably already bear quite a few graffiti), but it does make for difficulty in giving a sense of their size. Given that we hadn't had a chance to fully appreciate them, we bought the guidebook (as we did at most of the places we visited), but I haven't had a chance to read it yet (though I have perused the ones from Dover Castle, Westminster Abbey, Edinburgh Castle, etc.). According to our guidebooks, the Changing of the Guard at Windsor happens at 11 AM weekdays. I suspect it probably takes place at 6 PM every day as well, but since the place closes at 5:15 (at least this time of year), tourists wouldn't see it. We were amused by this particular event because the person who appeared to be in charge (the sergeant, I guess) was inspecting all the guards, and one of them had a bearskin that was a little too big and was threatening to fall off. He never did get it straight enough to satisfy the sergeant. There were quite a few tourists around (all those who had been in the Chapel, I guess), so I suspect they put on a bit of a show. -- Suzanne S.

When I was young, my family went to Stonehenge and we were able to walk round them and touch them which I have always remembered. I must admit the restriction is disappointing as you do seem to be so far away from them to really get the feeling of them. Recently my brother had a helicopter trip over the area, he said that was amazing to get overall topology and you get the real sense of the stone's importance in the landscape, especially as my brother said that you can just make out the River Severn where the Blue Stones had to cross to come from Wales. I understand that the audio guide is very instructive and well worth a go, but when I have three little ones to herd, it would have been a waste of time ;-) My wife often goes to St George Chapel for services with the children and thoroughly enjoys the atmosphere. The changing of the guard is a regular occurance, but it can vary with the amount of flair it is carried out with depending on the Sergeant on duty! :-) "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Although the stones at Stonehenge are still impressive (and I wouldn't want to detract from the amazing feat of bringing them there and levering them into position), they are just a lot smaller than expected, and there is no way for the ordinary tourist to capture that fact in a photo because you're not allowed to get close enough to show a human being next to one of the stones for scale. As we drove up, Barney said, "Somehow I'd always imagined them bigger," and Virginia (our daughter) said, "Yes, when we brought Sadie [college friend], she said, 'If I'd known this was all it was, I wouldn't have bothered to come.'" Barney did do the entire tour, listening to every bit of the audio guide, and took numerous photos, despite the wind and rain. The wind was so fierce that umbrellas were useless, as they kept turning inside-out, and even when they didn't, the buffeting was so loud that one couldn't hear the audio guide over the noise. Virginia and Fionn immediately retreated to the car to eat their sandwiches; I stuck it out a little longer, taking a few damp photos, and then retreated to the gift shop, where it was warm and dry. At Windsor, because the queen was in residence, there were some rooms we didn't see, and St. George's Chapel was closed to tourists because it was Sunday, but we did attend evensong (though it turned out to be "Evening Prayers with Hymns," without a choir, which was a bit of a trial), so we saw some of the interior. As a bonus, when we came out, the guard was changing (which supposedly doesn't happen on Sundays, but I guess it just doesn't happen while the castle is open to tourists), so that was fun. -- Suzanne S.

I understand about Stonehenge, I took the chilkdren there last year and they were totally under-impressed, shame. I'll take them again when they are older. The boys do enjoy going round Windsor Castle though. My little girl is still too young really to know what is going on. I worked in Edinburgh for two years some time back and have great memories, lovely city. Glad you had a good time. All the best DeanH "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Our last full day there was Sunday. It was *glorious*--a shame we spent so much of it inside: at church, in the car, in the State Apartments at Windsor Castle. But we did enjoy walking around Windsor, across the footbridge to Eton, etc., and got lots of good pictures. It was balmy when we got in the car at 5:30 Monday morning to leave for Gatwick. We also had a very nice day in Dover last Thursday but regrettably spent an hour or so of the best of it underground, in the Secret Wartime Tunnels. Again, though, the photos taken outside had blue sky and fluffy clouds--quite a contrast to our gloomy photos of Trafalgar Square (and London generally) the previous Saturday and everything in York, Edinburgh, Oxford, etc. At least it wasn't *actually* raining when we were climbing up to Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. The absolute worst was at Stonehenge--biting cold, pelting rain, and gale-force winds--which did nothing to allay our general disappointment over Stonehenge itself (apparently a typical tourist reaction, though we would doubtless have been more charitably inclined on a milder summer day). It is steamy here now, making us rather nostalgic about the bracing weather we left behind. -- Suzanne S.

If only that were the case! :-) Considering how much I have gleaned from Ms Barnhill's gems over the years, just imagine what can be learnt from a personal appearance! Alas, being "across the pond", the chances are as likely as everyone knowing what the Pilcrow represents! g All the best DeanH ps. Also thanks for your 'modest' contribution as well.

Sorry, this is DeanH, I forgot to top'n'tail the copy of Suzanne's message with the explanation so hopefully the OP will see this message this time. Apologies for any offence caused.

You won't see them in Word's File Open and Save dialogs if you have the file type set to All Word Documents rather than All Files. I don't think you can hide them in Windows Explorer (except perhaps by hiding Hidden and System files, though I think that affects just the temp files). -- Suzanne S.
