Every time I go to the Biltmore Estate<\/strong><\/a> I absolutely have to listen to Cocteau Twins<\/strong><\/a> when driving onto the estate. I think it’s because I was listening to them when I first visited the place back in 1989. Something about the Cocteau Twins’ sound just seems to fit the place … especially their albums Treasure<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Victorialand<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This past Sunday, I visited and just walked around the grounds and gardens as all the time slots for admittance into the house were full. It was a lovely day but the reminders of COVID-19 were everywhere with socially distanced lines, mandatory mask usage, and reduced capacity. That was a bit of a bummer since it’s one of my favorite places to go to try and relax and reset my brain.<\/p>\n
