Sunflowers, Butterflies, and Birthday Cake

Family

We spent a quite enjoyable evening with friends. Deb and Pete plied us with delicious food and drink. Then we got to tour both their back and front yards with all the landscaping they have added since our last visit. Anne grew glorious sunflowers this summer and there are a few still surviving in the summer heat. Al’s butterflies are in all sorts of wonderfully whimsical places. There’s a frog’s house and a white ceramic pig. There’s blueberry and raspberry bushes and a delightful freeform patio sitting/grilling area. Then the four of them surprised us with birthday cake and champagne. The fact that the cake was scratch made and hand decorated by Anne made it even better. It was a great evening.

It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The

Our last day in London this trip we ventured underground on the Hidden London Charing Cross: Access All Areas Tour for a peek into the workings of The Underground a bit of its history and the uses of the Jubilee Line Charing Cross Station that no longer serves passengers but still has usefulness including as a filming location for movies including Skyfall and Paddington.
