Thinning the Woods

Family

The land we live on was once farmland. Down closer to the road you can find the old springhouse and the chimney for the house. When we got the land nearly thirty years ago there were just a few trees and a lot of low growth. Some of the slopes were covered in wild strawberries. There were a lot of wild blackberry brambles. Now there are quite of few trees and a lot of bushy undergrowth. With the help of Joe the Tree Guy we are clearing out enough of the undergrowth and dead wood to be able to enjoy the lower two acres and to get access to our two little mountain streams!

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.
