HERCULE POIROT WAS RIGHT

1) Live in a cosy home
2) Keep a few close friends
3) Have a signature style
4) Sip hot cocoa before bed
5) Attend house parties with fascinating eccentrics
6) Whenever possible, travel by train
7) Holidays should be educational, frequent & luxurious
8) Work from home whenever you can
9) Bring order and truth to every aspect of your life
10) Be observant and use your little grey cells

CAPTION: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect., but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of timey-wimey stuff.

Whilst I concede that texting is “convenient”, I much prefer all correspondence to be in the form of a handwritten letter composed on an oak desk by candlelight with a quill dipped into a bottle of ink, enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal, and sent via raven.

#BookWormSat #WorldAnimalDay #Caturday
🎨At the Rootwood by Stephanie Law

A drawin in warm and light tones of The Folk at the Rootwood.
Fritti (an orange tabby with a star shaped spot on his forehead) is lying in the foreground amongst red Flowers. He is bathing in rays of yellow light beaming through the canopy. Light green trees form the backdrop while a scattering of cat silhouettes is sitting amonst them. A purple haze in the upper quadrant adds a mystic tone.

'Books have souls,’ repeated the cat softly. ‘A cherished book will always have a soul. It will come to its reader’s aid in times of crisis.'

Painting of a grey cat with yellow eyes. It gazes out from the page of a book, looking past us, ears erect. Despite a serious demeanor, it wears a red bowtie with white spots. The page is printed in French and washed in shades of gold.
