After a hundred and ten days we drove back into downtown St Petersburg. It felt familiar and strange at the same time. We collected mail at the UPS store and got chocolate – the best we have had in a long time – from Schakolad. Visited Publix to get some groceries that we have been unable to find in the Smokies. Enjoyed a wonderful evening at Mike & Cathy, Matt & Emily’s.
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.
