Reclaiming the Garden

Family

One problem with traveling all summer is that the garden at the house gets out of hand. Last fall we returned home after four months to find potted plants and weeds in the garden taller than ourselves. We have the “lawn” cut periodically during our absence but we have no one to pull weeds. This unplanned midsummer return to the house has a benefit. We’ve made an effort to reclaim the garden. There are still weeds in the driveway that will do nothing but grow out of control and we’re under no illusion that the garden won’t be chock full of weeds again this fall but for the moment the garden looks almost presentable!

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

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.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

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.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

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.
