The large and small Show Gardens at Hampton Court were next on my agenda. The ancient, majestic trees in the distance beckoned me towards them. This most beautiful place offered so many things to see, let's take a look at them.

Neil, You did a wonderful job. The beauty of the grounds is amazing. I loved all the fountains and the waterfeatures.
It is always nice to see what gardens you go to, taking pictures so we may enjoy your Gardens...
Thank You for another wonderful article.

Dear Charleen, it is so nice to hear from you and Doris. We have just come back form Norfolk and the weather was awful with a force 10 gale blowing that you could hardly stand up in.
However on the way we found a thatched village pub that was quite old and the steak and onion pies with mash and vegetables were amazing, as they have a walled garden to grow their own vegetables in.
Behind the pub was an 11th century church built in 1049 and it is thatched, so I had to go and see it despite the rain and the wind. It was mind blowing inside and outside. I could not get any pictures as the wind was too strong and the rain too hard. When we got to Norfolk on the coast the sea was so rough it was hitting the Guesthouse we had to stay in!
Loads of love to you all and of course from the UK fan club for Charley!
I trust you are all well?

Dear Charleen, it is not often that I forget about anything!
You keep that Charley in control, as you know what he is like! Anything for a cookie. Rolling on the floor laughing
Buckets loads of love.
