Au revoir Hampton Court!

And there I was, after spending a day with nobility and royalty, trying to get my photo taken in front of the Royal Courts at Hampton Palace, when they attacked!! A group of Canadian soccer hooligans/street urchin types!

(Scarlet Pimpernel voice) 'Sink me! I mean, I honestly could not believe my eyes...how could such common riff-raff dare confront one as noble as I? Honestly...'


* I don't know what happened, but can you believe how RED my shirt is?!! Sink me!













But in the end, 'do unto others' stuck in my head and I realized that they just wanted me to remember them as well, so I invited them to stand in a photo. (Scarlet Pimpernel) 'In this world one is called upon to make sacrifices and when one is called upon, one must act so...shouldn't one?' ;)

*Who's one? And who am I? And where is this voice in my head coming from?



Goodbye Hampton Court! Thanks for one of the best days I ever had in Europe!

*I wrote Hampton Court telling them so, but maybe I should also include the 'I think you should chop down those trees so people can see the palace...wouldn't along the river bank be better?!'
