It was on Thursday 17th July and on one of the hottest days of the summer, we were sweltering in the 30 degree something heat! We parked at the park and ride around 10.30 in the morning and were then bused to just outside Hampton Court, just a short walk over the Thames, to join the throngs that were going in on the first public day.
I could grow lots of these in our dry climate though. I have some but they never look this dramatic!
We only had one mishap and that was when I thought I had lost my camera. I put it down to buy the gecko , gathered up our stuff and we were heading for the exit when we put all our stuff down to re-arrange it. NO CAMERA!!! Don't think I have run that fast in years but the owners of the stall had seen it and put it away safe so there were no problems at all. Phew! I know she's an old camera but she is very much loved and it would have been awful to loose all these great shots and memories too. I really can be an airhead sometimes but am very lucky to have someone watching over me and my forgetfulness.
