On the grave of one of the architects of those great heaps of stone (of Blenhiem, was it?) was written as an epitaph:
'Earth lay heavy on him - he has laid many a heavy burden on you'.

Nice quote.

Is that a Cambiaso above that ornate/cherub embellished sofa?
The architecture there is extremely 'over the top'! Do they have a formal rose garden?

I guess it'd be about 10 or 12 feet long, not sure we'd fine anywhere with a room to fit it.

They do have formal gardens there, but I wanted to walk in the parkland instead... more birds, you see.

Whoops, mixing my comments up there!

That sofa looks longer than my car! 0.o

You'd have to keep it in a hallway, I think.

I like the settees without the fat rolls. Hard settee please.

without the golden, ornate decoration.

Not so good for slouching in front of the TV for hours on end though. Priorities please.

Wenyu may fancy the couch as much as Martini. What do you think?
