While my son was having an audition nearby I had 7 hours to kill. I've never been to Hampton Court Palace before. Home to King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I, it really is something else- inside and out. Tulips are quite a fascination to me- as they were also in Tudor times, with hundreds of varieties in bloom it really was a sight! I had the most wonderful day. I thought I'd share some of my favourite pictures from my day.
