After our wonderful tour of part of Buckingham Palace we settled in the Garden Cafe to tea, ice cream, location.

Quite rightly, no photography was allowed in The Palace, but we have our keepsake tickets. It was amazing to see some of the treasures, the collections, the rooms and to stand where Bear’s Dad stood to receive his well-deserved O.B.E from Her Majesty for services to medical training. Sad to stand at the intimate display set up to mark the untimely passing of the late Diana, Princess of Wales twenty years ago. Her ballet shoes, tuck box and photographs chosen by her boys simply showed a life too shortened. I was rather pleased to see a little dust here and there........

Judging by the boys faces the milk from the royal cows had done their stuff and boxes were ticked.

A kindly lady offered to take our picture as Harley nipped to the ‘boys room’.
