Morning Ritual

Family

As of this morning we are reestablishing our practice of building a fire on cool mornings and using the fireplace to heat the house. However now with this new gas stove, “building the fire” means hitting the On button on the remote! And we can also set the thermostat using the remote to keep the house at a comfortable temperature all day.  Neither of us plans on missing the old routines of log splitting and stacking, firewood toting, fire tending, or fireplace cleaning!

LATEST

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.

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.
