Leyden Farm Winery

2019 West Again, Rhode Island, Road Trip, States

Our arrival at Leyden Farm Winery was delayed for almost an hour by an incident on I-95 in Providence so we didn’t get there early enough to participate in a tasting or wine by the glass. However we were in time to present our Harvest Hosts membership card and get instructions as to where to park as well as to purchase a chilled bottle of Strawberry Fields to enjoy at our pond side home for the evening. Leyden’s in West Greenwich, Rhode Island has been a family owned Christmas tree farm for generations and more recently the crops have included grapes and other fruits they incorporate into their wines. Although it would have been fun to sip wine amid the camaraderie of the people gathered here on a Sunday afternoon, we truly enjoyed the pastoral setting for the sharing of a refreshing libation. Life is good.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

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.
