After a leisurely time spent over coffee this morning we headed for the coast to see some of Lou’s favorite spots. Bean Hollow Beach was enchanting. We can see why she would spend hours on end here! We got to see harbor seals on the rocks and walk amid amazing vegetation. And then on to the historic Pigeon Point Lighthouse. We didn’t see whales. It’s a little too late for the northern migration. Lou has recently sign up to serve as a docent there and knows a lot about the natural and human history here. And she made plans to augment here personal history here. She made reservations to celebrate her birthday here. Now we have to make airline reservations so we can join her for the festivities.
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.
Tow pretty neat places to visit.
