With Michael and Emily we sampled some of the offerings at Innovation Brewing today. Dodging between the raindrops we stopped at Heinzelmännchen to get some growlers filled before heading to Dillsboro for a walk through The Oaks gallery and for spending some time hobnobbing with the potters at Riverwood Pottery. Emily and Zan spent some time comparing notes on the world of costume design. Back at Tween Creeks we made up some cedar planked salmon before settling in for a quiet evening at home.
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.
