I was nine years old when I last visited Hampton Court Palace. Now virtually on my door step, I revisited the Palace gardens yesterday afternoon with fellow artist Katrina.
It really is wonderful. I am sure I will now be going there more frequently. A place to walk through beautiful gardens, commune with nature, and for sketching.
I love this view of the Palace from the River.
One of the entrances.
The famous Hampton Court Palace maze designed in 1690 by George London and Henry Wise.
Originally planted with Hornbeam, now Yew.
A diagram of the maze
Garden mazes are designs in which the participant is confronted with many choices or paths to the centre, somewhat like the journey of life!
I will write more about the Maze of life in tomorrow's post.
I am off early this morning with my 90 year old Aunt to have lunch with my Mother. Although sisters, they have seen very little of one another over the years, and so this should be interesting.
Another beautiful and very warm day in London.

I'm envious of you living in such a great area...LOL...love that part of London...never been to the Maze...odd thing is when you're born and live in a place you often don't go and see place like Hampton Court...Museums and art galleries were my haunts...and the parks...GBHs...XXX
