Mountain House Interlude

Family

Tonight is our tenth night of driveway camping in Bell@ at our mountain house. This has given us the chance to bring home some items that we’d used in Sc@rlett that we do not currently need as we continue to get settled into Bell@. And we had just a few things to do at the house to get it ready for the summer. Then there was the fun of registering the camper with the state along with the privilege of paying the associated highway use tax. But the best of all was hosting Pat & Montiel for a weekend visit. Despite the limitations of a fuel scarcity due to the Colonial Pipeline shutdown, they delighted in walks in the nearby woods and identifying wildflowers. That’s not to mention naps in the hammock and collaborating on meal preparations.

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.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

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.
