Waterford in the Rain

Family, International, Ireland

It’s a short journey into the historic town of Waterford and we were able to find some on-street parking just a short distance from the Waterford Crystal showroom. We popped open our umbrellas and wended our way past the luxury motor coach tour buses (We abbreviate that to LCMs.) and into the lobby. Thought maybe we’d start with some refreshment but the cafe was full of folks wearing their tour name tags. Instead of taking a tour of the glassworks we watched the short video and then browsed the gift shop. The crystal is indeed breathtaking! A couple of us purchased some gifts and then we availed ourselves the lull between tour groups and savored some yummy pastries and tea in the cafe before heading out into the misty morning and more adventures.

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.

Excursion to Bath, England

Excursion to Bath, England

Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
