Tween Creeks welcomed us this afternoon to the beauty of winter in the mountains! So different from the Caribbean or even the Florida Suncoast! Â It’s going to be good to settle into our little cocoon and enjoy some solitude for a while. We’ll put up our feet for a day or so then get busy on the projects we have lined up for the coming months. But that won’t preclude a few little trips this winter and spring to keep us from developing cabin fever!
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history.

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.
