Final (delayed) photos from Wightwick Manor


Wonderful William de Morgan pieces.  Oh my . . .








I really loved the Persian influenced work - very much the style of tiles we saw in the Ashmolean Museum back in November.







Above - the tack room had been left more or less as it had been, complete with pre-War serge and linen-lined hunting saddles.  Below - the loose boxes had been turned into somewhere to sit for lunch, which suited me down to the ground!  I felt very at home!

Health update - mending slowly and I got 4 hours' sleep last night.  Which helps though it doesn't seem much.  I have been downstairs baking up a storm to use this bonus time usefully.

I'm going back to bed for a bit, then it's back to the decorating.
