    Not being particularly Arty, when losing ones sight, it has been one of those if only moments. We are interested in all things Jacobean, Tudor and Stuart. So enveloped in a visit to Hampton Court Palce was a visit to see and experience a wonderfully conceived presentation of portraits through this period, of Queens, Kings, notable figures famous and infamous. The audio description was superb to compliment the portaits I have seen on countless tv documentaries and later at Hampton Court. The Gallery being mid Victorian has been modified where possible to accommodate better access, with its own entrance and exit, ramps and lifts.

    Ramps and Lifts, a sheer delight for Rhona and her mobility trolly.

    Difficult to comment further than out of Covent Garden Station round the corner and into the Gallery.
