The only reason we ventured out this morning was because we had made an appointment to have the truck serviced. We’d made a promise, we’ll keep our promise, but it’s cold out there. Benefit to getting out there though, besides the opportunity to do some grocery shopping, was the chance to check out the ice in the local creek as well as in our front yard! Lovely as it is we are not tempted to linger out of doors. There are projects inside the house calling our names.
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.
