What a glorious day in May! Greg made the suggestion that we meet up with him for lunch. Linus napped in his stroller for the “T” ride to Dewey Square where the adults savored gourmet food truck fare while the little man noshed on Linus friendly food from home.
Once Greg headed back to his responsibilities, we four wandered around Boston checking out tulips, and big wheels, and water, and ducks! So many wonderful things to inspect! Such a glorious age!
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
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.
