A Bit of Gunpowder

Family

Gunpowder for St Paddy’s Day? Maybe not so inappropriate as it might sound. Karen discovered Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford back in August. Our friends Stan & Mary invited us to their house for a delicious Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner to celebrate the feast of Ireland’s patron saint. We brought the bottle of gin, named for the Gunpowder Green Tea that is one of the predominant botanicals in this craft gin created at The Shed Distillery in the heart of Ireland. We broke the seal, poured a bit on the rocks, and each person took a sip before mixing it. Every one of us opted to enjoy on the rocks. Our next challenge will be to find a source on this side of the Atlantic!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
