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

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.

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

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.

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