shewhomustThe only Jewish museum in Albania.
Gail-Nina Anderson spent Christmas in Athens, and, being a lover of postcards, she sent a postcard home.
And turning that phrase the other way round, our armchairs have been away to be reupholstered and are now both home again. I realise that some people would regard this as an opportunity for a complete new look, but our aim was to match as closely as possible how they had looked before, and we are pleased with the mossy green velvet and the brass studding. We chose this firm partly because she was able to start straight away, and was willing to take one chair at a time, leaving us somewhere to sit over the New Year. so we got to try out one chair before the other one went away for treatment. Now that the springs no longer trail on the floor, the seat is noticeably higher than it was, and we must have joked about this, because when Nicola returned chair number two, it was accompanied by a matching footstool! (The next question is, will she be able to reupholster the sofa? And if so, will the three of us be able to move it?).

That sounds beautiful! I'm glad you have your armchairs back and they look so good.
