St. Etheldreda & Ragged School Museum

Miriam is here and requested to go to Sunday Mass at St. Etheldreda's.  Her confirmation saint and name is Etheldreda.

Miriam ist hier und wollte gerne zu St. Etheldreda zur Sonntagsmesse gehen.  Ihr Firmname ist St. Etheldreda.

The little box under the statue contains St. Etheldreda's hand.

And after lunch we walked to the Ragged School Museum.
Und nach dem Mittagessen sind wir zum dem Ragged School Museum gegangen.  Dort wird gezeigt, wie sich Waisenhäuser und Heime für Kinder in London entwickelt haben.









We met Morgana at the museum and enjoyed the exhibition together.

Today was just a regular day with school work, German online teaching, and the girls went to St. Pancras to pick up train tickets for an outing tomorrow.  Miriam also had to finish a paper she was working on.

Heute war nur ein normaler Tag mit Schule, Deutschunterricht für meine Studenten online, und die Mädchen haben Zugfahrkarten für morgen beim Bahnhof abgeholt.  Miriam mußte auch eine Hausarbeit fertig schreiben.

  1. How nice to have a visit with Miriam, and I was going to say - you're not far from Morgana. How nice that all worked out for meeting. Did you like the museum?

    1. Yes, we met at the museum, looked at the exhibition, and had tea and coffee at her place. The museum is quite interesting. You learn a lot about evangelical Christians who really tried to help the poor and suffering, especially children. Many of those children ended up in Ontario! Charles Dickens was also involved with this movement. So it is quite interesting, but you need to have enough time to read all the displays. They don't have many physical items at the museum, except the classroom they set up.
