We awakened to a task to which we are not accustomed, we had to scrape snow off the windshield. Spent the morning lingering over breakfast and shopping for shoes warmer than what we needed in Florida. Spent the afternoon and evening in the warmth of Dave & Rhonda’s home. The warmest welcome of all may have been from our delightful granddaughter, Riley!
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.
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.
Me thinks you need to get a proper ice scraper for the car. The credit card solution only works for those once-in-a-decade Florida frosts. 😉
