Again we stopped because it looked interesting. This time it’s the Rocky Mount State Historic Site. When we walked through the door of the main house we stepped back in time to 1791 as costumed interpreters welcomed us to experience life in the earliest days of the United States. George Washington was president, tea was a precious commodity and carefully guarded, important papers were bound in red ribbon, linen was raised, processed, spun, and woven on site, and each individual owned only one set of clothes at a time. It’s amazing how much life has changed in 218 years and yet how much it’s the same.
Jives Aces in Tunbridge Wells AND Portsmouth
From London we made our way to Tunbridge Wells in Kent to dance to the strains of The Jive Aces and later enjoyed the opportunity to hobnob with the band members at The Ship and Castle in Portsmouth. Two fabulous experiences!
