Hampton Court to Honiton

A busy day at the wheel, though it had a slightly iffy start when I had to get some of the fluid levels checked on my car, as I was a bit suspicious of one of the gauges. All was well, and I set off towards the SouthWest with a rather wide detour via Hampton Court. It had only recently occurred to me to visit whilst planning the Tudor topic, and whilst I hadn't left myself much time, I did make the most of the chance to get some video footage of those Tudor parts of the Palace where such activities are allowed. This will be very useful for interspersing with footage of the children and providing an authentic backdrop. I then had the decision to make to stay in London and hear John Scott play Duruflé and Messiaen at Westminster Cathedral, or to head west. Heading westward won, and I made remarkably good time down the M3 and along the A303, through Hampshire, then Wiltshire, then into Somerset- still going strong, and eventually over the Devon border and Honiton- time to stop.
