Thought we were going to drive to Wine Country today but woke up to gray skies threatening rain. Opted to explore downtown Menlo Park instead. Found and patronized a coffee shop, a yarn shop, a fabric store, and a book store. Once we had reached our limit of dodging raindrops we settled in at Lou’s for an evening of cards, reading, and knitting.
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.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
