Bike Tour Hampton Court Palace

A great day was had by all. The informed commentary gave the cycle tour a fascinating context. The pub stop in a ‘hidden away’ ‘ location was a good interlude and the picnic at the end, complete with porcelain china teacups and home made cakes,rounded a perfect day off perfectly. It was fun to have to ‘coach surfers’ join us from the Netherlands, and their Dutch apple cake: the finest ever tasted. The highlight for me was the back approach to Hampton court and the beautiful wild flower garden. In the evening I went into London to see a play and walked through bustling, busy streets and reflected on the contrasting landscape from the morning and felt very ‘smug’ to have such cultural richness around me.
