Antique Anvil

Road Trip


‘Tis not everyday that one gets the opportunity to volunteer to transport an antique anvil cross country but that’s what we have just done. Sherri’s dad owned a 

Peter Wright anvil from the late 19th Century that had come down to him from his Uncle Herb. Sherri wants to pass it on to her brother, John who lives just south of Seattle   The problem was how to get it to him. We stopped by this evening. Sherri and her nephew Josh loaded into the bed of our truck and we packed our life vests and inflatable kayak around it for the trip west.

Once that task was accomplished the two of them treated us to a tour of the homestead including a peek at the Ford Model A in the weeds at the back of the property!

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.
