| Chapel in Hampton Court |
Where would you be pleased to find yourself
locked up overnight?
My first thought was on a cruise ship. But, I can stay on a cruise ship. I have stayed on a cruise ship. My next thought was Windsor Castle. What a beautiful place to visit!!! However, I finally came up with the perfect
answer: Hampton Court. I would wander
from room to room in hopes of seeing the ghost of Elizabeth I or her father,
Henry the VIII. Of course, the potential
number of ghosts is more then I care to list. These two are a good start.
Hampton Court may be my favorite “home” that I
have visited so far in my travels. I
loved the age of the castle, the history, the feeling of stepping back in time.
I loved walking where Elizabeth walked. In the chapel, I loved praying where Catherine
of Aragon prayed for her doomed marriage to Henry VIII. I still get giddy thinking about being there. I want to go again someday. I missed walking in the gardens. In fact, next time, I think I should book two
nights in the vicinity, so I can spend one day in the house and one day in the
gardens. I would loved being locked up
there.
