The walls really do tell thier tales.....from a beautiful warm family home...through love and loss and the old cottage now shares in the sorrows too...this does have the feel of the old classics....like I just picked up and old book and blew the dust off....(Not because it isn't read....but because I don't dust: O) to peek inside and find this gem.....well done David
