The last Historic Royal Palaces location we visited was the Tower of London, where we spent a good 4 hours wandering around basking in the lovely buildings and history. I used to work nearby, and reminiscing of the old days, thought I'd write about my time being a tourist here: Yeoman tour The tour started [...]
I love Hampton Court. Back in 2019, the hubby and I were members of Historic Royal Palaces and tried to visit all the English palaces in one year. We managed it and we have since visited Hampton Court many more times. When the hubby found out they were holding a light trail for Christmas, he [...]

January has been a very difficult month for me and reading back on my daily musings I have found that I have a really great support network: at home with the hubby, at work with colleagues, and generally friends from all over offering support, comfort, and advice. Of course with the end of Christmas and [...]
I have seen this food festival but only walked past it for a couple of years now and this year we finally went to it. Part of the Tower of London, tickets give you entrance to the Tower too, so essentially a double visit. If you are a Historic Royal Palaces member then of course you [...]
Continuing our quest to visit five of the Historic Royal Palaces this year, here is my second entry: Kew Palace. For my birthday weekend a few months back we visited the lovely Kew Gardens and Kew Palace, the weather was lovely and we were so tired from walking everywhere but would definitely do it all [...]
