HAMPTON COURT PALACE |
|
It had been a long while since McCarthy and Witham had taken a cultural and historical adventures to a great British landmark. That all changed though with the trip to Hampton Court Palace, for which Robert Jones and Bert Lloyd were also invited. A former home of King Henry VIII and William III, it is settled neatly on the banks of the Thames. Its world-famous maze was, however, the poorest we have ever taken part in, but not even that could leave a dampener on the day |
 |
 |
| Jones, Witham and Bert outside this fine royal home | This fine specimen was in traditional Tudor clothing, braving the cold weather to give us lucky guests an insight into Henry VIII world |
 |
 |
| Jones, Bert and McCarthy admire these delightful tree formations in the garden | McCarthy found this delightful plastic bread in the kitchen areas |
 |
|
| While Witham was happy to see these eggs | Berts cabbage was infact real |
 |
 |
| As was the national vegetable of Jones country, the leek. Unfortunately, it was not realised until McCarthy had put one up his nose, and Jones one in his mouth. We can only hope these weren't used for cooking | The impressive facade of William III living quarters |
 |
 |
| An expensive, but rather nice salmon dish is taken for lunch | Being the health connoisseur that he is, Jones didn't eat any of his vegetables |
|
|
 |
| Being the adult that he is, Witham chose to have the childs meal of pizza and chips | While McCarthy enjoys his meal ahead of the disappointment of the maze |
