Signature - Ann Hampton Callaway

Happy to visit Hampton Court

Advantages: Lovely day out, lots to see and do
Disadvantages: Too much to take in on one visit

I've wanted to visit Hampton Court for absolutely ages, it's been on my "list of things to do" for about five years now. Finally, after much delay, I achieved my goal on the May bank holiday. History Hampton Court is probably best known as Henry VIII's royal palace, but in fact it was built by Cardinal Wolsey, Henry's right hand man. Since Henry seized it from Wolsey (sorry, was given it by Wolsey...) it has been extensively modified by various monarchs from Elizabeth I through William and Mary and Queen Anne. Various grace and favour apartments were established in the buildings in the early 1800s, which led to further changes in layout and use, and although these apartments are no longer allocated to people there are still a few people living there.

Check out Cadbury's Signature

Advantages: Good biscuit selection, lovely chocolate!
Disadvantages: Non resealable packaging, high calorie and fat content

Review of Cadburys Signature Biscuit Selection Cadburys are a household name in the United Kingdom, known mainly for confectionery products. The company also produce a range of biscuits and cakes, this review focusses on Cadbury's Signature Biscuit Selection. Product As you would expect Signature biscuits are a selection of chocolate coated biscuits.

The net weight of the selection is 300g. The wrapper needs to be opened with scissors, there is no method of resealing once opened, so Cadbury's advise storing in an air tight container once the product has been opened. Within the wrapped sits a brown plastic tray, with indentations for the individual biscuits ...

Hampton Court Palace, right royal welcome

Advantages: Great royal history, inside and out
Disadvantages: None at all

Henry VIII is arriving on his barge, out on the Thames,the scurry of activity is hectic, all over the palace. Cast your imagination back to those historic, royal days; fearful, hospitable, sociable and most of all regal times. It's easy to relive life at Hampton Court, guides dress in period costume and talk in the dialect of the day and exhibitions make it come alive. Take time to step back in time! Time in this case is from 500 years ago. My research tells me that probably the first most famous resident was Thomas Wolsley,who took over the palace in 1514 when he became Archbishop of York. He had to give it up when Henry VIII wanted it- I think he wanted to keep his head, so gave up the palace! Henry took over around 1537 and his only son was born there and christened in the Chapel Royal; a couple of days later the baby ...
