Last night I slept in an oak panelled room
with a velvet upholstered four poster bed.
The fireplace was carved limestone,
the ceiling moulded plaster,
and the bathroom luxurious.
This morning I sat at the pewter mirror
and looked beyond to the drive lined with shaped yew
and wondered at my good fortune.

I too wonder at your good fortune.
I imagine my whole 5 days in Marrakech probably cost the same as this one fabulous night.
Its lovely for you to share it in such an un showy and sensitive way.

Wow, hadn't realised Chez Magpie was quite so plush!!!
I read this just after having booked a CAMPSITE for our TENT for our next holiday.
Now I want a four poster bed and a pewter mirror. Oh and a bathroom.
I always yearned for a four-poster bed as a child. You're living my dream.

After years of reading early Victorian literature, I have always wondered what it would be like to sleep surrounded and enclosed by yards of velvet.
your life is one long holiday, isn't it?
Veddy, veddy nice.

Am intrigued/nosey beyond belief, can I admit that without sounding too weird or sad?

Where are you, Alice dear?
Since I am currently overwhelmed by longing for far places more than usual,
I loved this very much.
Like suse, I have a camping trip to look forward to. mmm.
Oh it looks lovely, a perfect getaway.
Mr C and I have just spent several days going round various National Trust properties and I have to say that it looks like you may have been staying at my favourite one! Go on and tell us where you've been - please!
