These photos were meant to go up last week however technical difficulties got in the way! Recently I visited Hampton Court and had a wonderful time. One of the things I love about Hampton Court is that the palace is very much an amalgamation of different eras; Tudor and Georgian predominantly.

HEVER CASTLE // VISIT
Recently I was beyond thrilled to be able to go and visit Hever Castle, better known as the birth place of Anne Boleyn in Kent.
