Cool and the earth was
replenished! Last day of
our Bible Study and one
friend brought British
"biscuits" ~~ Lemon Curd
Biscuits from Hampton
Court Palace , a gift from
English friends visiting
last weekend. Butter and
lemons . Since I don't know
much about this Palace , this
is some of what I found:
Famous maze in the gardens

6 acres of building

Henry VIII lived there.
Shakespeare performed there.
King James Bible is commisioned there.
Christopher Wren built part of it.

The Chapel Royal where Archbishop
Cranmer issued a letter to Henry VIII
with accusations against his wife Catherine.
( unchaste behaviour before marraige)
She was executed in the Tower of London.

Hope you've learned some-
thing and yearn to visit
on this English sort of day!
And a biscuit is a cookie
in England!

Thank you for the little lesson about Hampton Court....oh how I'd love to experience a cool English day in person....how refreshing. But I did enjoy a little taste of that here on your blog. You find the loveliest art to display too...your header is very attractive.
Thanks Sara!
Yours is too.
