A Bit of Gunpowder

Family

Gunpowder for St Paddy’s Day? Maybe not so inappropriate as it might sound. Karen discovered Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford back in August. Our friends Stan & Mary invited us to their house for a delicious Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner to celebrate the feast of Ireland’s patron saint. We brought the bottle of gin, named for the Gunpowder Green Tea that is one of the predominant botanicals in this craft gin created at The Shed Distillery in the heart of Ireland. We broke the seal, poured a bit on the rocks, and each person took a sip before mixing it. Every one of us opted to enjoy on the rocks. Our next challenge will be to find a source on this side of the Atlantic!

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.
