Hampton Court Palace

 

Gardens

While I am writing this blog I would like you to imagine that you are me. You walk into the wonderful, beautiful Hampton Court palace gardens to all the shapes and types and colours of flowers you could ever imagine. After walking though and past these you decide to go into the twisty turny maze - it takes you at least 25 minutes to get through the curved and narrow paths with walls made of hedge, wood, twigs and a tiny bit of fencing. Finally when you get out of the maze you continue on to see the old tennis court.

 

 

Tennis

Now when you finally get there, to the old, grand and still in use tennis court and walk inside you see some new people, not the old famous ones, playing on the court a strange game called Real Tennis. What you see people play at Wimbledon is different to is but came from this game.

As you walk in you see little rolled up balls which is how tennis balls used to look like. Today we use hollow balls - these ones have cork centres. Then they wrap them up tightly in plastic. Last, they put a cast of soft protective and green covering over the tennis ball and play.

 

Paula and kids

After the tennis court you head on down to the cafe to meet your new friend new friends. When we found them we discussed a lot about our lives. It turns out that twenty years ago your mum used to live in London and used to know them. There mum is called Paula and she had two sons, Nathan and Rueban. These two sons seem to like you and you start to like them back. Then you decide to go back to ther house.

 

Paula's House

 

My first ever lock

On the boat down the river Thames to Paula's house you experience your first ever lock. A lock is where there is a gate on the river and on the other side is lower water so they lower the water down on your side and you go slowly through. When off the boat at Richmond and heading to Paula's house you stop off at some markets.

 

Heavenly crepes

At the markets there is a crepe stall which you all get a crepe from. You get a Toffe Banoffe and your friends get triple choc. Then you walk down to there house.

 

 

 

 

 

Best BBQ

A little while after arriving at the house you go to have dinner. They serve you an amazing meal with delicious carrot, miraculous caramelised nuts and pears, a sausage and roasted potatoes.The best bit about your day is experiencing your first ever lock.

That's what I did today

Bye for now
