Yes and no. Great literature takes us into it.

That’s about right…such a noble raiding of your own garden, and strolling through the gardens of others.

I agree…..to lose oneself in a good book is the best:)
My son and his partner love the clock, but because I didn’t arrange to have a gift card enclose, (instead sent a letter under separate cover) they didn’t know who it was from ’til yesterday…..! However, they are thrilled with it and wanted me to pass on to the top designer at First Night – how much they love your work:) Keep smiling my friend and have a lovely day…Janet. xxx

I doubt I would have survived this long were it not for escaping into books. I’m thrilled your son and his partner like the clock. I’d love a photograph of them beside the clock with Jared wearing the tie!
