In the footsteps of Henry VIII

I haven’t posted for a while so I’ve a bit to catch up on.

A weekend away at Hampton Court Palace in December is the reason for the subject title. A group of 8 of us spent a few days at ‘The Georgian House’ Landmark Trust property on the grounds. It’s absolutely fantastic. If you ever get the chance to stay there………do. Having access to the grounds and Palace courtyards after hours is a bonus and if you can cope with the difficulties of focusing the camera in the dark some good photographic opportunities. I didn’t manage to cope with the focusing in the dark BTW so there are only a couple of shots I approve of that might make it to my website proper. Mostly I took pictures with the phone, the shame of it, it was easier than karting the kit around and when we bobbed into London I only took the camera phone!! One place I absolutely wanted to visit was the new St Pancras Station and I was not disappointed. It’s Fantastic even if my images don’t do it justice!
