The four of us have been up for a few hours now, since day dawned here at The Granary. We’re in what was once probably a barn. Very comfortable but with a challenging spiral staircase!  We really enjoyed doing snacks, dessert, and libations last night and tea and fruit bread toast slathered with Irish butter this morning. Now we’re packing up in a bit of Irish rain in preparation for today’s trip to Donegal.
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.
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.
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.
Lovely! We are still unpacking from our cross country T@b trip to Grand Canyon! Maybe you could send some of that rain to Yosemite where a required evacuation and closing of the park is at hand. Just now seeing some fire-fighting progress. Largest fires in the history of California. Send rain!
