Book Passage/The World According To Bertie
They pushed the door open and entered a narrow hall. At the side of this hall was an umbrella and walking-stick stand of the sort which is always to be seen in country houses - a jumble of cromachs [a Scottish walking stick with a crooked handle similar to an Irish shillelagh], a couple of golf umbrellas; and to the side, along with a boot scraper, mud-encrusted Wellingtons, a pair of hiking boots for a child, a tossed-aside dog collar and lead.

I like this quote and the picture just invites you inside.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. It was just so British to me. I have bought some of Pam Braun's notecards, including this one. I love her work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture! I'm going to look out for work by this artist. The cat and dog remind me of ours, now sadly gone, who were constant companions, with the newly-arrived black and white kitten regarding the (male) dog as her surrogate mother.
