Hampton Court Palace

Set in sixty acres of world famous gardens the Palace is a living tapestry of history from Henry VIII to George II. We had been planning to make a visit for a long time but finally got round to it. The place is huge and we wandered around the gardens for free since its in off season, we are going to have to come back in Summer so we can see the gardens at their best. It was a nice quiet relaxing Sunday, afterwards we went to Richmond for some wine and cheese in the park. We are going to have to be pretty quiet for the next few months so we can travel again once the summer arrives.

Hyde Park and Kensington Palace

We had a pretty quiet weekend for once, no parties to report on at all. After getting a good nights sleep on Saturday we decided to have a walk around Hyde Park and the Kensington area. We started at Speakers Corner and made our way around the park and saw the sights including the Princess Dianna Memorial drain, Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace and many others.
