Excavation Begins

Family

After fortifying ourselves heartily on a big breakfast at Lindsey’s, a delightful independent Canton establishment, we headed to David’s new house. The accumulation of boxed and bagged possessions greeted us as we walked through the front door. Where to begin? Try to establish some order in the kitchen? Move the bedroom and attic stuff upstairs? Wrangle the furniture into position? Or all of the above? We met Dave and Amy for lunch at Samantha’s. A good midday break in their harried lives. Then back to it. We managed to get the major pieces of furniture into place and a lot of stuff upstairs so that by the time Dave got home from work the living room looked like a living room and Dave was able to chill for a few moments in front of his fake fireplace. We left him and Amy to enjoy a little time together and headed to the campground to fall into bed. An adventure of a different kind!

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.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
