Hampton Court with the kids

On a cool day, a picnic with the little ones in the beautiful gardens of Hampton Court followed by a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. What stunning flowers! Then back home to admire their garden decorations – little girls are so imaginative.

Game pie followed by a skate?

Game pie for me and bangers & mash for her, and a large Shiraz for me and a ginger beer for her (the driver). And afterwards the ice rink across the road at Hampton Court was empty and tempting but I can imagine the look of horror on my daughter’s face if I had been serious. #oldgeezerbreakslegonicerink

Hampton Court

On another hot and sunny day we strolled around Hampton Court gardens. For lunch we sat in deckchairs under the trees, with a sandwich and can of lemonade. There were boat races on the Thames. The sky in the black and white image is misleading.
