Wednesday Window - Below Stairs

The butler's dining table below stairs at Blickling. Lovely view of the garden but …

… not quite the same as above stairs. Ah, death, taxes and inequality: our constant companions.

I must be a peasant because I prefer the butler's table.

Me too! So much simpler to keep clean.

Hi! I'm Jaime Sara's friend. She wanted to let you know her monitor died and will be offline for a while.

I also prefer the cozy table below the stairs. A much better setting for good conversation.

Hi, Jaime. Thanks for letting me know; I was beginning to get worried. Tell her Hi from me.

It is indeed, Ms.M. though when we were below stairs we spent the time doing the "Butler's Challenge" laying out place settings for various events. Good silly fun, as you get to dress up and have a giggle.

This is all reminding me of Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

Ah, you Hollywood types.

Me too - I'd prefer to have tea with the butler!!

You could ask him what the butler saw …

Ha, ha - now that could be a fascinating conversation!! He might even have photos on his mobile.
