The Gardens and the Vines

Thank you for your comments on the 'Manners.' I'm glad you enjoyed them.  For my part I am ensuring they are closely observed at home.

Back to Hampton Court Palace and today I am showing you the gardens.  I wanted to give you a few days to digest the 'Manners'!  I assume are now ready for the pretty pictures.

When I saw the gardens I was whisked to Versailles.  Flat open landscape and fountains.




The Wisteria was in full bloom






The trees (Yew I think) are shaped like toadstools. I don't know the significance.



Spring blooms, tulips. 





Hampton Court homes the largest vine in the world. It dates to 1768 and is still bearing fruit.
