So I Lied . . .

In my last post I said that we didn't get many pictures of the Hampton Court Gardens.  Well, truth is we didn't get many pictures of the formal gardens, but we did get pictures in the gardens as well as pictures of many of the flowers there.  Here's a sampling.

Lots of Foxglove in the vicinity of London

I have no idea what these flowers are, but thought them beautiful.

One of Henry VIII's wives out for a ride.  They didn't say which wife and we didn't ask.  The pompous guy in the front kept telling us to bow and "make way for the queen," to which I replied, "I have two with me, how about you making way."

Evidently Carl and Robert looked threatening, so this young escort de la Queen took a defensive posture.  I don't know what they were doing, you have to watch them every minute.

One of the King's men . . . a ginger.

A type of Begonia I think.

Would that we all had gardeners.
