It was so pleasant to awaken to bird calls a this reflective scene this morning. So pleasant and so calm. Then the peace was interrupted by a wild and furious thunderstorm with high winds. We fared quite well due to our ability to learn from previous experiences. Following the storm we did some mopping up and post-event evaluation. The rain is finished, the birds are singing, and we are even better prepared for the next storm!
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.
Forecasters are predicting your preparations will be tested. Fortunately, the storms are short lived so you can still enjoy nature ,the company of neighbors, and your local wanderings.
Be safe. Severe weather is coming over night.
