This is such a beautiful piece of cloth, thank you for sharing! The more i look at it, the more i discover. And I am fascinated by the boats, on the left a bigger boat with a small one, then in the middle the small boat with two people, next a sea monster (?), and then on the right the small boat empty...tells even stories this cloth
Do you know, I have never really looked at the boats before. And now that you have pointed them out I want to have a closer look! They seem out of place with the plants and insects, but everything is so out is scale that there are no rules. It’s an amazing piece.
I’m up to Entirely Beloved Cromwell, so I am behind you at the moment. I’m eagerly anticipating the re-entry of my Entirely Beloved Christophe as I read on.
Oh it is. Today I read the part where Richard changes his name to Cromwell, which is so moving. And Christophe is a delight - especially when he is dreaming he is a pastry - but he always makes me cry at the end.

I feel like we're in a very similar place in Wolf Hall. I've just started Anna Regina.

He's just showed up with his gutter French. I'm realising on this reading how much the book is about Fathers and Sons.

If you've never dreamed of being a pastry you've never lived. Oh, these books. 💛
