Tearstock 2014 participants are arriving in droves today. The campground is crawling with folks in love with their teardrop campers. Everyone who is already set up is wandering the campground greeting old friends, meeting new friends, exchanging ideas, and helping others set up their side tents, canopies, whatever. The friendly energy is incredible!
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.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
by the time I got to Tearstock…
Guess whose card I just found…I hope your summer is winding down and that you’re travels take you to more outstanding destinations. It’s really cool to be able to share your story – nice camper!
Sincerely,
Del
