Wondering around London

[Brian H]

Out for a walk and found this establishment. Yes as some may wonder, I was wondering and wandering. Easily done around this lovely city.

I bet they have a lot of great signature cocktail names.

Wife and I will be in London in May,
She’ll be shopping for fabric and I will have free rein at least to look into Purdy and Holland.
Would love to hear your thoughts

[Bill Murphy]

Time to do some serious shopping.

[Clark McCombe]

I’m not in a “buying mode”
Just window shopping.
My real wish list - a 28 ga Parker.

Early in the 2000's a British friend of mine with connections to H & H arranged 2 hour tour of the facility by the plant manager. Stunning

Brian, were wandering or wondering? Or wondering while wandering?

James Purdey and Sons.

I had a nice visit to H&H today, I had no idea that Beretta bought them a few years back. The fellow in the gun room was very pleasant, similar to past visits. The record for my H&H 12 bore and the original letter Teddy Roosevelt sent to order his famous safari .450 double rifle.

Purdey - I have spent a good amount of time there in the past, they are always proper but very pleasant in conversation. Nick was the manager the last time I stopped in. If I can find time tomorrow I may stop in.

How cool is that! I’m surprised TR didn’t use a peep. His eyesight was never very good. And in 1905 he lost sight in one eye while boxing with his aide. TR was one tough cookie.
