This week Riley built a tea cart with from an Erector set that has been used and loved by four generations before her. The original pieces to the set date back a hundred years. They and the “newer” fifty year old pieces are kept in a box built by her great great grandfather Henry.
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.

Many an hour spend playing with that set. Did you know that Erector is still around and making sets?
