In a moment of serendipity I rode the tube to some unknown location. I just knew that if I rode, I would find something that could only be in a big city like London. This feeling kept me going north, and stopped me from going left and sometimes right. I walked and walked through parks until it found me. A palace! I drank cups of Lady Grey in the Orangery at Kensington Palace, careful to not chip my tea cup on my ever smiling teeth as I dreamt of what happened in this place a century or two before...I had to bring my mom weeks later and we explored the living quarters of Queen Victoria, but not without a spot of tea first. ♥

Ooh I sure love palaces, although I've never visited kensington. Have you ever been to hampton court? I was there last summer and the gardens were immense! Btw I love your blog, I am a new follow & fan xx
This little trip sounds so lovely
And your photos are a delight! :)
Thank you! It is definitely worth a visit - even if it's just for tea :) <3.
Thank you so much <3.
How lovely - I have another place to put on my visit list! I have never been to Hampton Court and British gardens are some of my favourites. :) I've lived here for almost two years and I'm still impressed that new things keep popping up. Thanks so much for your nice comment - I can say the same for you! <3

Very inspirational blog you have! I like here :)
I definitely need to visit here!
You won't regret it - even if it's just for tea :).
Thank you so much! I am from the States originally, which is why I was even more thrilled than most people probably would be in the UK. I hope you have a serendipitous moment of your own - if not a castle, then I'm sure a mansion would do ;).
Thanks <3
I would be happy to make you a list and would definitely need your advice next time I'm in Sweden - I didn't make it out of Stockholm, but I was in love with what little I saw. <3
