  Health and Safety would not be happy with the candles these days.

  Seasons greetings to all in our National Library and especially you, Mary, for keeping this flickery thing going. Location. Temple of Castor and Pollux, The Forum, Rome www.flickr.com/photos/photohistorytimeline/8515815313/in/...

  We could do with a drop-cloth like that this year. Easily the highest levels of needle shedding we've had in recent years. Those ceramic(?) heads on the drop-cloth scare me more than the candles to be honest :) We know the Dillons were well-traveled - do we think the images behind were collected or otherwise represent some of those travels?

  Merry Christmas! I love how it has central place in the room. And the cloth under it was so sensible. As kids we still had crackers on our tree. I love the wee interior details here with the rod picture rail and the curtain pelmet rail to the left (oh the joy of changing fashions and that pelmets have long gone!)

  I don't think cats were so common as indoor pets as they are today. Pets are taking over!! (No, none live in my house--say what you will. . .. :-) Thank you, Mary, and happy holiday to all at the National Library of Ireland!

  Poor old dears do not look entertained at all and they must have been cold with their coats fully buttoned.
