If you are a fan of Baker’s Chocolate in general or of German’s German’s Chocolate Cake in particular, this is where it all began, on the banks of the Neponset River in Dorchester MA. Established in 1765 as Hannon’s Best Chocolate, Baker’s has been a mainstay of the American culinary scene ever since and was manufactured here until 1965. Today we visited the Chocolate Village with an intent to enjoy dinner with our son at Yellow Door Taqueria but chose instead to dine at the Lower Mills Tavern. Excellent food and drink- try their Pastrami Rachel Sliders! And for us, excellent company too! A memorable evening.

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.
