Seeing red in Windsor


We were at a loose end yesterday afternoon so decided to pop over to Windsor where we parked up in the Great Park and walked the 3k into town. While navigating Park St., which links the park to the town we noticed this vandalism, someone had thrown red paint over the front door and window of one of the houses there. I didn't hear about this on the local news or anything so it could be a fairly old story? My theory is that the house is something to do with the Royal Estate (there's some kind of crown stencil on the windows) and perhaps this was done by anti-hunt protesters (fake blood etc.), anyway, it's a big mess and rather out of place in the usually picture perfect town.

While there we took a walk down the railway arches and visited the Two Flints taproom for a swift half and a crafty (shared) pizza. We'd visited this brewery before back in April 2023 when it just opened, and I was quite impressed with the quality of their offerings then. From the look of the place now they have clearly gone from strength to strength, the range of styles on offer was amazing, and the place was packed out, even though it was only 3pm on a chilly February afternoon. We both supped a nice fruity pale ale called "Alma" which was more West Coast in style than East (i.e. quite bitter) it was really good, balanced and refreshing, definitely one to watch out for!
