Early last spring we faced the disappointing fact that the balsam trees that we had planted in the early 1980’s had succumbed to the wooly adelgid. We opted not for the expensive treatment program but to remove them. Then we discovered that the space where they had been would be a great space for deck expansion but we missed their screening aspect. Now we are planting six Green Giants. They are cedar trees that should grow fairly fast and give us a green screen on the north side of our house.
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
To meet up with some family members for the weekend, we headed north to explore Ely one day then Lavenham the next, two incredible historic communities.
As we begin venturing into Central London we explore Primrose Hill,the Victoria Memorial, the Gatti Ice House at the London Canal Museum, and the HMS Belfast with more adventures to follow.
