Christmas festivities started Friday afternoon when Gary arrived and continued Christmas Eve with the arrival of CJ and Phil in the morning and of Peter, Rachel, and Greg in the evening. We all spent Christmas leisurely enjoying one another, delighting one another with gifts and working together to prepare a delicious feast.
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.
Merry Christmas. It’s great to catch up with the Tholes! We enjoyed a beautiful Christmas Eve dinner with Mo and hubby and assorted family members and friends.
Love to all. Sue McGough Michael and Bob Michael.
