The countdown to our trip to England has less than 2 weeks left. Packing preliminaries look like we'll get everything in our carry-on bags. Airline reservations have been confirmed. House-sitter arrangements have been made.
In a related English matter, looking through Dad's old WW2 ephemera, I came across the photos of the Stucky family and the post-war thank you letter that they sent him. Since I'll be in London soon, I took a gamble and fired off a letter to the address on the letter, 176 Mill Road, Kettering. Today to my surprise, I received an airmail post from a Mr. Mike Groom, the current resident of that address. Saw my first Royal Mail stamp with King Charles visage on it.
While I'm on the subject, I plan on visiting the shop where Henry bought his ivory chess set. I'll bring a copy of the receipt and a photo of the set on Lou's walnut and maple board.
