A Day Out for Mutti (3)

The third set of photographs from yesterday, showing (in order) the place we had lunch; the party waiting to order (minus myself, since I can't be in my own photograph); the main entrance to Hampton Court; the facade of the Tudor Palace (originally constructed by and for Cardinal Wolsey, who fell from grace in 1529 following his failure to obtain the Pope's consent to Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and had all his properties and possessions confiscated by the king); and Gail, Mutti, Lynn and Chris strolling in the rose garden (Judith was there too, but had just darted away to look at some other flower).
