My Bank Holiday Weekend Pt 1: A sunny day at Hampton Court



Hampton Court Palace, Henry the VIIIth's pleasure palace built up the Themes from London, a huge sprawling brick structure with absolutely massive gardens (and a maze).












You can't take photos inside, alas, but there were some courtyards, this is from a newer, non-Tudor wing.

















The back of the Palace



















From the side, and a big lavender patch











A huge topiary garden, very manicured and French
















































and the rose garden, with the palace behind










the river Themes, from the side. Grrr.
