Before I could say "chill and relax!", Alicia sent me a message saying "Eh Sat go Hampton Court okie.. got nice autumn trees there! Take photossss." Well maybe not exactly in these words but you get the picture. And so, battling jet lag and a messy house waiting to be tidied, I gamely agreed.The London landscape has changed quite a bit in the past 2 weeks! Trees turning yellow/reddish and there are many fallen leaves on the ground. Every season has it's beauty altho' I think Autumn is slightly more beautiful (and romantic looking too!) than the rest.
The changing seasons really showcases the wonderful creation of our Heavenly Father. It's like Spring signals the awakening of the trees and flowers after a long and cold winter. You see the greens coming out of the landscape and rejoice because it means warmer days are here. Then it's Summer where days are long and nights are short. You feel happy because of nice warm sunny days and even after work the sky is bright and cheery. And then comes Autumn and trees turn yellow, days grow colder (I wish to say cooler but no, it's COLDER). Not very upbeat anymore but still maintains it's own beauty. The cold soon sets in, days get shorter and nights get longer (can get depressing, yes) but then when there is snow, you feel it's all worth it because the snowy landscape is just so pure... serene and beautiful. And this cycle continues. =)
Anyways back to Hampton Court Palace. We took photos, we sat on the benches in the palace gardens and enjoyed some goodies I brought from home. The weather was perfect. We could sit there for a long time if not for our growling stomachs hurrying us to get a proper lunch!
Such beautiful yellow trees and so much fallen leaves all around
See the palace? Looks so different when I came during summer with Yeelin & Felix
** Time for a break - bak kwa from home! haha
