Around and About
I want to get back into the habit of blogging regularly, so there is no time like now. Life is moving at warp speed at the moment, so I will just move forward with a quick update of what we have been up to. We had a wonderful visit with Nancy/Grandma who was here for a week and for Rosh Hashana. Yom Kippur was spiritually uplifting at New London Synagogue, where we have joined. The Minyan Chadash is warm, welcoming and feels much like home. Sukkot arrived. This is the first time I have been homesick, as we don't have space to build a Sukkah here and it is my favorite holiday. Julia spent hours making paper chains and pictures to decorate our porch. Though this is not a "kosher" Sukkah, it provided me with tremendous joy and our little space has been transformed for the moment.
Karen and Dan arrived on Friday. We visited the Kenwood House and had lunch there. This is my favorite thing to do in London, so it was fun to share with them. Dan is very knowledgeable about art, and though this was my 5th visit to Kenwood, I learn something new every time I go, and from Dan I learned about a rare painting. We knocked a few more things off of our London To Do list: fish and chips at a very yummy place, the Imperial War Museum and high tea.
Today, I spent a wonderful day and some money (though not as much as I could have spent) at the Origin Craft Show in Spitalfield Market.
That's is all for now.
