Breakfast with Friends

Family

Many years ago we became friends with Ben and Lynda. As the years progressed or daughters became very best friends. Then their daughter and our son met independently of us and proceeded on a long and sometimes rocky road that led to their marriage two years ago. Now we four are expectant grandparents together. We came to Enfield for the baby shower and joined a house party in progress. By 7:30 this morning all guests but us two had left. We lingered for a quiet breakfast with Ben and Lynda before embarking on the next phase of our ramble.

OUR VERY

LATEST

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
