Hampton Court Palace

Even though Chris & Brett had to do some work today, we manged to squeeze in a trip to Hampton Court Palace. With only one car and decidedly dicey weather, we thought it would be a nice idea to catch the ferry to the Palace. After lunch we set off and on arrival we discovered that we had just missed he ferry and would have to wait for approx 30 mins for the next one... The next best idea was to walk into Kingston along the Thames which should make us in time fr the one that leaves from there. This would also give the kids a chance to have a much needed nap. We literally only just made it in time and then enjoyed a delightful ride along the Thames. On approaching the Palace, Brett pointed out that this was indeed the way the Royal family would have arrived. We then went for tea and cake before walking back to Teddington. The weather was very kind to us and we got home dry in time for Leo and Zara's dinner.
