Rose to the occasion

Great excitement this morning as the lady from Colissimo (parcel delivery) blew her horn on the van as she approached our gate. ‘It must be the ceiling rose’ Brian exclaimed. Out he ran to greet her and take receipt of our parcel, before she sped off to the next delivery with a smile.

After I had given the chandelier a really good clean and replaced the bulbs, Brian carefully fitted the rose to the ceiling and rehung the lamp. It has become a really useable space with the vitrine, which we had bought from the depot vente in Troyes, now in place.
