Reading Material Replenishment

Family

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.

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

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.

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.
