Hampton Court before the rain!

I went to Hampton Court this morning for a walk round the gardens. Although there was no rain forecast we had a heavy shower after our walk while having a coffee and got soaked cycling home! 
People going to the Hampton court Garden Festival were walking through the gardens to the entrance to the festival by the Long Water, but there were very very few people actually visiting Hampton Court so we had most of it to ourselves! See extra …the view over the Long Water with a threatening sky! 
We were so surprised to see so many people going to the Festival wearing very summery clothes and many without even an umbrella……
