You step out of London’s hum into a soft-green English afternoon: clipped lawns, distant church bells, and the stone bulk of Windsor Castle rising like a practiced storybook scene. Guards move with the ceremony of centuries while the River Thames, patient and deliberate, threads past the town and dares you to slow your pace.
