Plus Macarons

Family


There’s nothing quite like a visit with Pete, Debi, Anne, and Al. Not only are they all welcoming and convivial but they offer us wonderful homemade goodies, wholesome food and delightful libations. Tonight was a fabulous roast pork meal preceded by cocktails topped off with homemade creme brulee and Anne’s amazing macarons. This time we’re enjoying being houseguests for a couple of nights before we begin our trek back to NC.

    Glad to be part of your “southern swing” 2017!

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.
