The Night Before the Night Before

Family

It’s become tradition to gather on the deck on the days leading up to Deck Day. Tonight twelve of us gathered for a dinner on the deck. We sampled some of the menu offerings for Deck Day and a few special items like the Caprese Salad and the decadent flourless chocolate cake that Lou and Peggy brought. And then there was the Wine Zinfadel tasting. The overall order of preference was Beringer, Biltmore, and Sutter Home. Then as we were cleaning up, one more party goer arrived. We are now thirteen. At least four more out of towners are expected to arrive over the next two days. It’s a party!

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

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.
