Just made this bed ready for tonight’s guests. I know I picture it often but it is my favourite room.
The bed is not very old but it is very much like the one I used to sleep in at my grandmothers house when I was a child. She had a chair close to the bed so I could climb in onto the deep feather mattress. The curtains were the palest pink which she said were deep red when she was a girl in the eighteen nineties.
I visited often and we would play I spy with my little eye and she would tell me tales that she made up as she went on, can’t remember one but they were very good.
The chamber pots she still used even though she had a bathroom close by, old habits I suppose, this was the nineteen fifties.

We visited Tintern Abbey today and it remains much as it dose in this early painting. We lunched at the Anchor inn close by the abbey.
We had earlier visited St Briavels castle from which the Forest of Dean was administered in the medieval period.
As the road is closed at the moment beyond Tintern due to a rock fall we drove to Chepstow via Brockweir and Tidenham
The castle in Chepstow was the first to be built after the conquest by the Normans and is very impressive.
A very warm and humid day so we appreciated the cool of the castle ruins.
We took our time in each place starting after eleven am and finishing around four pm.
An enjoyable day tour from..... www.braynecourtbedandbreakfast.co.uk
