Since retirement, I, Karen have had a lot more time for reading. I started with Ken Follett’s “World Without End”, the sequel to “Pillars of the Earth” which I have read multiple times. Then “Coal: A Human History” which discussed the geologic, economic, political, cultural, and environmental history of the fuel that enabled modern society. Then back to fiction for “Burned” by Mary Higgins Clark and “Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict” by Laurie Viera Rigler. Today I had to go to Mirror Lake Library (a place dear to my heart) to replenish my reading material. I now have “A Thousand Splendid Suns” and “The Not So Big House” to satisfy me for a few days.
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.
