Tiramisu and More

Family

It was a day for adventures. We headed into the “big city” of Franklin. It’s all relative. A town of 4000 souls can seem like the “big city” when you live in a community that doesn’t even really have a downtown.  First stop was to get some lunch at Chris and Charlie’s Pizza.  The spinach salad was good but the Tiramisu was the best we have found in WNC. Yum! Next stop was for some official business then on to more fun things: a visit to a great kitchen shop for some little tools;  a cup of java, a cookie, a hand of gin, and listening to some local musicians practice at the Rathskeller; a couple more little stops in Franklin; then a stop at Country Roads Nursery to procure several perennials and some herbs for the front walk gardens.  A final flourish to the day was a glass of wine and snacks around the fire pit with friend and neighbor, Mary. A fine day in all.

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

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.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

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.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

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.
