Pork and Sauerkraut

Family

In accordance with longstanding German tradition we eat Pork and Sauerkraut on New Year’s Day in the hope that the upcoming year will bring goodness. The two of us are quite happy to see 2017 behind us. It’s not that we didn’t experience goodness in the year just past but that it was peppered with loss in our circle of family and friends. That’s what led to our lack of blog posts in recent months. We are currently ensconced in our mountain house working hard on a family history project and a bit of textile arts. It good to be indoors since all the horizontal surfaces outside are encased in ice and temperatures are expected to dip into single digits tonight. We may yet post about some of the adventures we had in the last months of 2017.

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.
