Been working on The List for days. After strawberries and cream, bagels and cream cheese, and more than a bit of coffee, we all got into gear to set up the canopy, move furniture from Creekside, make the BBQ sauce (and taste it), and more. Still need to make a beer run and smoke the pork but we’re at a good place in the run up to party day. Only wish B&D were able to participate. Our prayers go out to you.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
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.
