It was a cold day in the middle of July…and to celebrate Karen’s birthday we headed first to Maggie’s Galley, a seafood restaurant in Waynesville, then to Graveyard Fields, a great hiking place along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We hiked to the Second Falls and to the Upper Falls and gloried in the beauty of the wild flowers along the way.
 
 
 
 
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.
