Mystery Cellist at Polesden Lacey

With summer approaching in the Northern Hemisphere, many of us look forward to traveling. Whenever I am in the UK, I love visiting National Trust sites. As I make my own travel plans, I am reminded of a quest to uncover the identity of a cellist in a drawing found at Polesden Lacey, a National Trust site in Surrey, England. Get ready for a summer mystery later this month.
