We’ve just spent the last few days on the South Carolina beaches on Hilton Head Island in the company of Phil & Jill. It was a glorious few days that felt a bit like summer even as the days are chilling off at home. We did beach walks, midday mudslides, lighthouse tours, brats, beer tastings, hot tub soaks, afternoon naps, evenings around the fire pits, dancing on the sidewalks, and all sort of fun things. There was enough planned events at the resort to prompt us to think of summer camp but since the beverages weren’t limited to kool aid we dubbed it Summer Camp for Adults. It was a glorious time and we’ve promised to reconvene and have more fun adventures together – SCA-II, SCA-III, etc.
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.
