Hatfield House

Went to Hatfield House, the childhood home of Elizabeth I last weekend and what a place it is. The weather was warm and sunny and the light for takling photos was superb. There was a wedding on in the Old Palace so we couldn't go inside but the outside was majestic in the sunlight.
In The main House there was a TV company filming a Miss Marples episode but were resting on the day we were there. However in the great Hall the famous Rainbow painting of Elizabeth I was missing. Oh No it wasn't, it was hidden behind a specially built wall to protect it from the TV arc lights. Well this wall was an Oak contruction right up until you touched it, the reality-it was plastic, but not even the rooms guides knew that. Look out for the next installment of Miss Marples you won't see the join.
