Day Out With Claire

[debris4spike]

When Brenda arranged to visit I had hoped she could stay another day, but it was not to be.  As Claire had swapped things around so that we could all go out, we kept thhe trip anyway.

We went to Agatha Christie's home Greenway in Torquay. The house was Georgian (my favourite type of property), although the original house was built in Tudor times.

I would be terrified of breaking those delicate cup handles!

[debris4spike]

Those handles are lovely, but no, like you I wouldn't dare use them!

It looks like a house one could actually live in - carefully, anyway.

I love those butterfly cups - and the idea of Max Mallowan sleeping in his camp-bed at home!

[debris4spike]

Yes, it is a very comfortable house ... and "designed" as a home for use with the family.

Those handles are lovely, but no, I wouldn't dare use them! I suppose Max sleeping on the camp bed is better than the traditional "separate bedrooms"

First editions of all her books

Ooooh.

... And most of them are signed by her, as well.

That oval floral painting and the Tudor decoration I would love to have in my house!! What a cozy lovely place!'

[debris4spike]

Yes, that Tudor panel is one of my favourite bits of the house
