Time for Some New Pictures

Here I am amid the trappings of Hampton Court Palace, including the Queen's reception room (the red chair) and the bed chamber of one of the queens, though I've forgotten which. King Henry VIII had some massive kitchens in his Tudor palace (I can't imagine why).
The tapestries each cost the same amount as a battleship. The palace is blanketted with them, one way Cardinal Woosey showed off his wealth while he still owned the place.


A little funny with the wispy hair, but a nice picture none the less. This is the outside of William and Mary's part of the palace, with some extraordinary gardens and fountains.
