Home

An Englishman's house is his castle. In all the ways the English are reticent about themselves, the interior of their homes are full of self-expression in equal measure. Inevitably, there are a hundred ways to make a house a home. Why just have a desk when you can have a bureau, a roll top desk or an armoire. Why just an armchair when you can have a club chair, a lounge chair, a louis chair, with an ottoman, a hassock or a pouffe? Why just a garden, paved over no less, when you can have herbaceous garden or a woodland garden? You get the idea. Home and really pretty much everything else here lies in the subtlety. In some ways, you get initiated into the club when you can tell the difference. I love the hours of conversation one can have over here over the tiniest detail of an ordinary thing. None of it really matters but how else would we get through the hours down at the pub.
