The romantic glow of lanterns in winter...candlelight cast on interior walls and white orchids...I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the weekend setting the scene for a party.
Unfortunately, the details were largely lost on the crowd. It was a classic teenage party: Maddy's old friends meeting the new ones, a lot of shrieking and a touch too much cider in some cases. After the last guests went on Sunday morning we took stock, shivering. The Rayburn range in the kitchen was one casualty, cold as the night, having been accidentally switched off. And we still can't find the kitchen rug. Though there is a last known sighting caught on iPhone camera. Ed is wearing it.

I like your description of the teenage crowd....a lot of shrieking. The fine details hinted at in your photo would be lost amidst that. Or maybe not. Maybe some of it sunk into their subconscious!
Ooo, absolutely charming. At least you have photos to appreciate! Hope your writing is going well!
I lost a kitchen rug once. But a few weeks later I found a jumper I didn't know I owned. So things even out...
Now THAT sounds like a party! 8-)
Bear and I watched "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" last night, and haven't been able to stop smiling since. Check it out if you haven't already! The cast is a bounty of amazingosity and the story is grand.
Lovely image. Pity the teenagers don't appreciate these things.
