Only a friend who had once lived and worked in Haiti would be thrilled to be your guest when there’s no place to sit down in your house and would choose to sleep on a sofa with no cushions! That’s our Blythe. There are so many facets to our friendship, one of which is that she is a weaver. So we made a trip to a weaver’s mecca, Earth Guild in Asheville. While we were there we attended Mass at the very beautiful St Lawrence Basilica and drove home via the Blue Ridge Parkway.
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.
