For most of the thirty-five years that we have lived with our beautiful Old Tavern Pine bedroom set, there has been a bumper sticker on the mirror. That sticker now has new meaning. We’d both rather be in North Carolina than keep our treasured furniture since it won’t fit in our house in the mountains.

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.
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.
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.
