Family and friends and a tribute to Laura & Mason’s expected new baby girl were reasons enough for Lynda and Ben to open their house and yard to about five dozen folks. Throughout the day they filtered in and out savoring treats from homemade quiche and watermelon to burgers and chicken on the grill and ice cream cake. It was good to have a relaxing day to hobnob with folks we’ve previously only met in more formal situations.
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.
