Because of the Blog

Road Trip

Our dear friend Sherri follows our travels through this blog and today sent us a message suggesting we get together while the two of us are here in western NC. We used Yelp! to find Sherrill’s Pioneer Restaurant in Clyde NC as a convenient location midway between her place and ours. Sherrill’s is a landmark here, it opened in 1954 at the same time as the highway was completed. It’s s bit of a time machine with food choices items that probably appeared on the original menu. We enjoyed the convenient location and the friendly service as we engaged in lively conversation. Then after settling the bill, they charged a one dollar fee for the privilege of using a debit card, we continued to linger under our umbrella in the drizzling rain in the parking lot reluctant to let the visit end but if not for the blog, we would have had this great visit.

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.
