Thank you to all my Friends & Followers! News from the Poet's Desk..
Thank you to all my friends and followers who have viewed, faved & commented on my latest work. You are, as ever, so generous to me and I appreciate your support so much.
This is just a little update to let you know that I will be getting back to you as soon as I can to enjoy your lovely work, as you know I like to catch up with all your galleries.
I am more behind than usual as I have just had to undergo some extensive dental work, as I have been in some discomfort for some time. But apart from my face still feeling numb from the anaesthetic a day on I am feeling much better! Bit more sleep will work wonders no doubt.
Then I will be getting back to you all.
I thought you might like to see an image of my latest purchase….recently, I have been converting what used to be termed a ‘drawing room’ [which basically meant it contained the telly and a sofa in it!] to a second ‘office’ and reading room for me, as my top attic space in my Victorian house in the summer is becoming like a furnace and far too hot to work in at certain times of the year. This downstairs room is perfect as it is the coolest in the house, and as we don’t use it like we used to, it made much more sense to turn it into something else where it will be used to help me in my endeavours!
So I bought a Mahogany Wood Victorian Desk. I had been looking for some time for the right one, and eventually I found this one - dated 1815 to 1890, when the furniture makers were in business, based in London.
So now it is sitting quite nicely in the bay window, with an early Victorian chair that I already had. I tried other modern chairs but they were the wrong height. This was perfect.
I know a writer used this desk originally, as there are ink stains in the drawers, which I absolutely love, so I feel that the desk has come back to a Victorian home where it hopefully belongs.
Writing and taking photographs is my life, so I am hoping to share more of that journey with you. But now...its time for some more painkillers!
All my love for now, Shelley x
