Hampton Court Palace

A few snippets of video from two different trips to Hampton Court Palace where we rent a flat most years as part of our vacation.....

The first thing you will see are clips from our first time staying there in 1999. Allan and I went without Holly on that trip. It was pretty spooky the first time.....first clip is the dark and moonlit view from the kitchen window which looks onto Master Carpenter Court, then you'll see a view of Fish Court itself from the hallway window....Allan being encouraged to walk up to the next level....Allan terrified when I accidently turned out the lights....16th century beam in master bedroom (note the floor slant)....looking out the leaded windows towards the guard's break room (screaming distance!).....another trip in 2001 when Holly joined us at the palace for just a long, jet-lagged weekend....morning beauty ritual with tea ....dawn walk on Hampton Court's east front......(a privileged view that not everyone gets to see)....all of us in front of the palace's main entrance (you will not often find me in shoes of this type). We took a still of this for our 2001 Christmas card.
