Hever Castle

Anne Boleyn's home was a real surprise. A castle with a real moat,  draw bridge, fabulous gardens and history attached to her life as 2nd wife of Henry VIII. The furniture, tapestries, paintings and wood work/carvings were amazing. The gardens were a taste of what we will see at the Chelsea Flower show. My friend Sue could name many of the flowers so we were lucky. The weather today was fabulous-23 degrees and sunny.

Topiaried shrubs, white swans with cygnets,  mazes, water mazes for the kids and boating on the lake.

After that we were treated to a drive through the country to Box Hill, where the Olympic cycling was held,  past Epsom race track where the Derby is held for a view of London in the distance and home to tea on the patio -8:30 PM and still daylight.





 I think we know these people!
