SNOW IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE & OWLS & NEW STOCK

The snow started to fall on Thursday night  


Saturday we woke to the most glorious day. Middle England looked like a Bruegal or an Averkamp















Our barn owl lost his wife last year and has been alone ever since but with St. Valentines day this week he has found a new wife.............



Just arrived in the shop is this 18th century Irish Mahogany Hunt or Wake Table, it would make a perfect dining tabkle in the 21st century where space can be limited.............

wake table


And finally this late 17th century landscape at just over five foot wide it would make a room


more soon..............

PROVENCE IN THE SNOW

Our beautiful house in the Var is under a blanket of snow, it arrived a few days ago accompanied by vibrant blue skies. The Christmas break was spent having lunch in the sun with roaring fires in the evenings. Dinner with friends, warm winter food and long walks during the day. But winter has now arrived..................We rent the house when we are not there and the summer is usually pretty busy, but the winter months can also be wonderful, if sometimes a bit cold!
