And a Bit of Jeeves

North Carolina, States

The opportunity that prompted this visit downtown Asheville was the NC Stage production of Jeeves Takes a Bow. We have been fans of the P.G. Wodehouse character since our son introduced us to the series of short stories in which his valet, Jeeves, consistently and creatively rescues Bertie Wooster from his myriad misadventures. When we discovered the comedy was being performed at NC Stage, we couldn’t resist. The theater is less than a mere quarter-mile walk from our hotel and is a delightfully intimate playhouse. ‘Twas most enjoyable evening!

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.
