Friday night when John arrived we fed the fish in his pond and Saturday evening he and Steve did it again. Then John brought out the came poles. Despite the feeding Karen did succeed in pulling in one of his hybrid bluegills but only one. Sunday morning we tried again. John got one bit that was the only one. Not exactly a feeding frenzy but it was fun to wet a line and wait patiently hoping for a bite on the line.

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.
