The key

It’s a bit of a murky day today, cold grey and drizzly. But we are off out to Troyes to collect a second key for our car. When we bought it they only gave us one key. All the years of owning a company car, or having a car through a finance company, the dealerships had always been so specific about handing back two keys, so I felt they should have had two to give us. They appeared not to, so they have ordered us a second one and it’s now getting programmed.

Whilst in Troyes we thought we would take the opportunity to drop a couple of prints off at the framers to be framed. One was the painting by Kero, that I had shown previously. We thought a very natural modern frame would suit this with a dark navy border, which worked really well with the beautiful blues of the sea and sky. The second one was an old vintage 1940’s ‘American Pin Up’ print we had bought by EARL MORAN – ‘A beauty in her swimsuit’. It has a dusky pink background, so Brian chose a deep maroon border, which I think looks superb, with a dark mahogany frame which has a touch of marquetry in it.

Can’t wait to go and collect them when they are finished. Below are the pics we took whilst choosing the right combinations.
