I had to do a little google search to see how the D'Oyly family was connected to Gilbert and Sullivan.

It was served in more than one NT cafe in Devon. Maybe I've mistaken an a for an o on the menus. I've been wrong before. Whatever it is called and it probably is Homity, Grayden enjoyed it. I can't wait to try Welsh butter. The dairy products in Great Britain are so much richer than our's.

The National Trust does an amazing job of keeping up many ancient properties. By joining the Royal Oak we play a small part in keeping these properties open for posterity. Many benefactors contribute to the support of the National Trust along with many volunteers. Their properties are quite popular as well.The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-48866825348763119182019-03-26T20:44:16.132-04:002019-03-26T20:44:16.132-04:00Oh Denise, that is so exciting you saw the Pirates...Oh Denise, that is so exciting you saw the Pirates of Penzance by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company!

I remember going to see the Pirates of Penzance at the Kennedy Center here in Washington DC, put on by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company when I first moved here. Amazing to think I missed this all the years I lived and visited Dartmouth. Our village wasn't that far away so we used to visit the town quite often. I know where I will be heading to when we go back, whenever that may be. Thank you so much, beautiful photos!DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.com
