Fire and Ice

Family

It rained last night and this morning we read that a severe weather alert had been issued for our area warning that freezing temperatures following the rain would lead to patchy ice conditions. When we looked out at the deck we saw that and more. Apparently we also had sleet. The deck is covered in a thin layer of ice with thousands of tiny ice bumps imbedded in it. Looks like a severe case of white measles! So grateful for the ability to crank up the gas fireplace, make some hot chocolate, and just stay indoors this morning!

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

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.

Bletchley Park

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.
