It's a really wonderful place to visit at that time of year because they have loads of festive events and the palace really comes to life.Tillyminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895775162235466466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-67788592675522562942011-06-17T23:58:42.692-04:002011-06-17T23:58:42.692-04:00Oh wow, I'm hooked on that show now.

A few years ago the Tudor kitchens were populated by a crew of Tudor period cooking experts, appropriately costumed (although I do believe their codpieces (all were male) were exagerrated in size.<br />The next time, or the one after, we did a proper tour with a costumed female guide, on the topic "Hampton Court in the time of William III"--too perfect, as my Wm & Mary-era novel was in progress. Our impish guide was particularly gifted at telling the naughty stories. Yes, even boring Wm II could be naughty. In a rather dull fashion.<br />The restoration of the gardens and the post-fire restoration of the palace to (mostly) the late Stuart era was an inspired decision.Margaret Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16202290659191790984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-37333311624996241262011-06-17T13:17:27.429-04:002011-06-17T13:17:27.429-04:00Thanks so much for this link.

Delilah Marvelle and I are giving a workshop for the Beau Monde’s mini conference in NY about Georgian-era kitchens, chefs, and food (she’s going to talk and I’m going to serve period treats like rout cakes and lemon cheesecakes).Isobel Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153722955365985930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-24779627254665962932011-06-17T11:25:53.239-04:002011-06-17T11:25:53.239-04:00Susan & Loretta,

I was hoping for some samples like they do in the Roman Baths in Bath. At least I got to try Jerome K Jerome's maze!<br /><br />Arianne from <a href="http://aplusbinthesea.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A + B in the Sea</a>Ariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652434242553278040noreply@blogger.com
