Today was a gentle day. The house is in order and we had the opportunity to sleep until we wanted to get up! We started the day with a leisurely swim in the pool and decided that this house has been a wonderful place to visit for the last fifteen years! We continued the dejunking in the garage, talked with neighbors, played double solitaire with Matt, hosted Susan for dinner, went to Swing dance, and talked with Greg as to whether or not Boston College would be a good move for this Fall.
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
