Another of the Deck Day traditions is the trip to the trash/recycling depot. Somehow we didn’t have the energy to get the multiple bags loaded and transported but this morning it’s time to do what must be done. It doesn’t mean Deck Week is done – the party is continuing and we still have one more balloon surviving.
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.
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.
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.
Curiously, the last Deck Day balloon spontaneously just burst, about a minute after Brian departed.
Shrapnel from my heartbreak perhaps? Hope there was no other damage.
