Candid Shots Inside the House

Here are some pictures of the inside of our house because Sophie asked. I resisted the urge to tidy up or wait until everything has a place before taking the pictures, because then of course it would be an even longer wait.

The first picture is a camellia in a bowl on the coffee table. It looks much better there than any of the blooms look on the bushes, which are still rather square (from their earlier severe pruning). The roses are on the back of the toilet in the hall bathroom. I wish I could send smell-files on the internet: these are fantastic old-fashioned really fragrant roses. When the bathroom door had been closed, I opened it and was struck by the noticeable aroma of roses in the air. The roses grow along the west side of the house.
