The train ride was delightful from London to Leeds last evening. We traveled in the dining car with a white cloth covering our table and stemmed glasses. The evening meal was served pipping hot and was delicious. Sue and I had split pea soup seasoned with Indian spices (a tip I'll take home). A taxi took us from Leeds to Saltair which is a smaller town northwest of Bradford.
Let me go back a couple of days and play catch-up. Yesterday morning we entered Sr. Winston Churchill's bunker and museum. What a joy that was! Everyone knows what an outstanding statesman he was; however, many of us are unaware of his love of and talent for art. He left behind over 500 paintings. He seemed to have a special giftedness in rendering color. Art and war do not seem like companions; however, he was able to conquer both.
We were on our way to the train station heading for Leeds when we saw a huge banner advertising an art exhibition in the British Royal Museum called "Impressionists By The Sea". We diverted our journey...took in the tremendous art show....and then caught a later train. It was a great show with Monet and his impressionistic contemporaries.
(I am using a prepaid card. Time is almost up!)
We are traveling the area with a local pastor today. Our friends Denny & Sue are acquainted with him and follow his ministry. It is raining here today.
Howard is having a great time and is doing well.
Time is up!
Farewell for now,
Martha
