Yesterday afternoon we pulled into the community of El Dorado at Santa Fe and parked our T@B in Bill’s driveway for a weekend visit. We enjoyed the patio and libations with Bill as daylight began to wane then were happy recipients of a delicious home cooked spaghetti dinner. Bill introduced us to a mystery series on Netflix and we watched the first episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. We made some plans for the weekend eschewing the balloon fiesta since we’d all had fabulous experiences in years past and may well do so again but desire calmer more relaxing activities this time. This morning we two have enjoyed an opportunity to get a few projects done while enjoying being outside under fabulous blue skies and just a hint of a breeze.
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.
