Och Aye the Noo, or whatever...

Well it certainly feels like Scotland, with all the snow outside. Maybe a good thing, as it gets me in the mood for designing my Scottish Loft Room. I've been looking up reclaimed hand-made bricks for the chimney breast and fireplace and I found some lovely little ceramic insets for the quarry tiles in the grate. The one I'm going to use shows a picture of a cute little baby quail. I know it's a bit nancy for a 28 year old man's room, but the Scots like quail don't they? To eat anyway. I've also given him some rather romantic looking 19th century pre-Raphaelite prints for the gable-end walls, which I think he'll like because, although it's philosophy he's studying and not art, there must be a lot of philosophy behind the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. There's philosophy behind everything I suppose, that's the whole point.... Oh well, whatever. The colours match, so that's that.
