Walk in the Sunshine

We struck on a rare Spring-like day today and decided to make the most of it and go for a walk in the sunshine! Hampton Court Palace is a short drive away, a good change from the city just a little further along the Thames. Here are some of Dave's photos...

A lovely walk by the riverside.

An imposing entrance.

Sweeping lawns.

I enjoyed the creative brickwork and looking at all the details, especially the gargoyles. Very fancy. Some of the creatures also had carved stone chain-link and rope!



I think the gargoyle on the right resembles the Luck Dragon from 'The Neverending Story'. Maybe a little?

Some feathered friends.

The trees here are amazing!



Here's hoping this is a sign that Spring is almost here.
