Henry VIII: "And from where have you come my fine subjects?"
Little Boy No. 1: "Hounslow!"
Little Boy No. 2: "We took the one one one!"
Henry VIII: "The one one one, a fine coach indeed!"
Hampton Court is such a fun day out! When I was at the Tower of London earlier this month I splurged and bought a Historical Palaces membership - something which I would totally recommend! It's £41 for a year membership and free entry into five palaces - so much better than the £19 for a one day entry to the Tower or £16.50 to get into Hampton Court. I went with my friend Jen who is writing a novel about Shakespeare at the moment. We wandered around listening to the character actors, looking at all of the beautiful daisies in bloom, and soaking in the atmosphere.
It was a lovely early Spring day.
I'm always doing something felonious when I appear in your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat was indeed a lovely day. I could have watched Henry VIII with those little kids all day!
And don't forget about the fields and fields of daffodils and the Venus who watches your every move from her post about William III's lesser bed . . . :)
