Hmmm ninja packing was kinda needed

Today was our last day and we packed everything said goodbye to the apartment  It went very smoothly but sad that the holiday is at an end. We decided to use our last day intelligently and get most out of membership and head to Hampton Court Palace. There had been a Christmas food and wine festival over the weekend so we went in a different entrance and could not go in the front court - no chimney pictures🙁. Oh well nevermind. The Tudor area was beautifully decorated in all the hallways the rest of the Palace areas were a bit underwhelming but as the Tudor section is our favourite we didn't mind. The gardens were looking quite nice considering it is December so we had a quick wander round and even saw some deer in the neighbouring paddock. A quick trip to the Royal School of Needlework to pick up a few things was needed and then headed off for a final Tate viewing. It was quite busy for a Monday afternoon but we got to see all of our favourites. We both looked around some of the rooms and felt a bit sad. It was the last time we got to see them. We then headed to pick up the bags and make our way down the one set of underground steps. A nice man took Maree's bag down and Cheryl after struggling a wee way down finally accepted help and a lovely man took hers the rest of the way. On arriving at Heathrow we had to do some repacking to get the both cases under weight but all was good and we have kilos to spare!!! Just waiting to board now. No pictures the free WiFi isn't up too it.
