The Palace


One of the gardens...


Kitchen, but just one area.... It is huge!


The oldest grape wine

The Great vine at the Hampton Court Palace is considered the oldest grape vine in the world.

Royal for a day

After insisting a lot, my husband convinced me to visit the Hampton Court Palace (http://www.hrp.org.uk/hamptoncourtpalace). I was feeling quite tired on the weekend, but he said it would be a great fun and then we decided to go.

Originally constructed for a Cardinal, it was given to King Henry VIII in 1528. The Palace and its gardens are beautiful, and the food at the restaurant delicious. The adult ticket is £ 14.00. Will post more pictures.

Earnest, a great suprise!!!

Every year I go to see a play at the Open Air Theatre at Regent's Park. The theatre is so charming that it makes the experience unforgettable.

First of all, more than going to see a play, you have the chance to enjoy the good food and drinks they serve. Secondly, when you are sat at the theatre, you can see a play in two different moments: at the beginning of the evening when there is still natural light and when it is darker, when the lights from the stage give it a unique atmosphere.

I went to see The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s comedy, last night and it was spot on. The play is quite funny and relaxing, so you leave the theatre with the desire to go back the following day to watch it again.

The play will be showing till the end of the month. So, if you have never visited the theatre, try to go to see this play. It will be memorable. More information on http://openairtheatre.org/p13.html
