Minus a Few

Family

Epiphany has passed. It’s time to dismantle our lovely Christmas tree and pack up all the seasonal decorations. We both really enjoyed immersing ourselves in all things Christmas. The tree lights and Christmas Instrumental music were on all day every day from the Saturday after Thanksgiving until Epiphany. It helped to soothe our souls and to cheer us through some amazingly cold weather. As we pack up the ornaments we’re laughing again about a hilarious moment we had while decorating the tree that resulted in several of our vintage glass ornaments being crushed and the two of us belly laughing long and hard. We’ll use the extra space in the boxes for a few fragile non-glass ornaments as we pack these treasures up to live on a top shelf until it’s time to brighten our lives and trigger our memories again. Happy New Year!

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

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.

London’s Canals

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.
