It was a day for adventures. We headed into the “big city” of Franklin. It’s all relative. A town of 4000 souls can seem like the “big city” when you live in a community that doesn’t even really have a downtown. Â First stop was to get some lunch at Chris and Charlie’s Pizza. Â The spinach salad was good but the Tiramisu was the best we have found in WNC. Yum! Next stop was for some official business then on to more fun things: a visit to a great kitchen shop for some little tools; Â a cup of java, a cookie, a hand of gin, and listening to some local musicians practice at the Rathskeller; a couple more little stops in Franklin; then a stop at Country Roads Nursery to procure several perennials and some herbs for the front walk gardens. Â A final flourish to the day was a glass of wine and snacks around the fire pit with friend and neighbor, Mary. A fine day in all.
Burgh House Hampstead
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.
