Birthday Greetings, Bottle of Wine

Family

We had reserved today to enjoy all on our own while enjoying the strains of a song that Paul McCartney wrote when he was fifteen. We started off with a breakfast at Beverly’s on Corey Avenue. If you are near St Pete Beach, you must check out this most delicious, always crowded, independent restaurant. We then returned to Ft DeSoto to break camp and headed into town. We dropped the trailer at a friend’s. On a whim we toured the neighborhood we lived in more than thirty years ago and had a delightful visit with Kathy, a former neighbor. At two we had an appointment for haircuts with Gina and enjoyed catching up with her. Then we headed north on 9th and allowed the allure of Dunkin’ Donuts Boston Creme to tempt us then lingered in order to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi. While we were lingering a friend who never stops there for coffee did stop and we spent the better part of an hour catching up with one another. We finished the day with wine and the company of Susan who has offered shelter for two nights.

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

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.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

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.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

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.
