Dillsboro Celebration

Family

Lots more unpacking. We found the other corner on the far wall. We still suspect that there is a window behind the boxes there in the middle of the wall! The Direct TV installer came and now we have an HD receiver on the back of the roof, not on the deck railing! A bonus is that we now have XM/Sirius radio on the TV for some nice background music throughout the house. This evening we hauled our recyclables and trash to the local recycling center. That was a learning experience! From there we went to Dillsboro, a neighboring community for their annual luminaries Christmas celebration. It was fun to wander the streets and listen to live Christmas music, to duck into various shops, sample some spiced cider, and discover the local chocolates shop.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
