Today we took delivery of the reclaimed antique heart of pine that will become the new flooring and stairs. More than a hundred years ago this wood was part of a textile mill. For now it is sitting in our library acclimating to the environment of our home. Also arriving and installed today were the screens for our sliding glass doors. Now we can let some of this beautiful Spring weather indoors.
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.
