Uncharacteristic of us we’ve stopped for a big breakfast at Cracker Barrel. The real reason is to let some of this stormy weather pass. We’ve taken our time with our meal and are now sitting on the porch listening to the song lyrics telling us truthfully that “The weather outside is frightful.” Indeed as we traveled south on I-65 we saw several cars in the median, evidence of spin outs. It’s soggy everywhere in the southeast. We drove through hard rain for six hours yesterday. And Tween Creeks experienced it too. Neighbors report the creek in front of the house jumped its banks and wreaked havoc with the road. Fun times both in the mountains and on the road!
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.
