We awakened to a task to which we are not accustomed, we had to scrape snow off the windshield. Spent the morning lingering over breakfast and shopping for shoes warmer than what we needed in Florida. Spent the afternoon and evening in the warmth of Dave & Rhonda’s home. The warmest welcome of all may have been from our delightful granddaughter, Riley!
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Me thinks you need to get a proper ice scraper for the car. The credit card solution only works for those once-in-a-decade Florida frosts. 😉
