Oh my, yes I admit it … I have read that book.
There is much fuss and ado about it … the racy scenes … the edgy content … my breath hitches … what should a country gal think?
Well … I am very very offended, very offended indeed. Not by the illicit detail, oh no – it’s quite refreshing to read about a chap and chapess that fall in love, marry and stay faithful – how pre 20th century!
No no – what I am appalled about is the minimalistic, contemporary surroundings of Mr Grey’s Seattle penthouse pad! Aaaargh! Yes – this is one of his ‘tastes‘ that I cannot forgive. Souless, stainless steel, glass filled white empty rooms, Bleak House! Not a niknak or piece of gingham on site. Boooooo!
However … the other ‘room‘ is where he really lets himself go, sheer old fashioned stately indulgence, deep Oxblood Chesterfield sofa … tick … beautifully carved 19th century four posterbed … tick … old country leather … tick … soft enchanting deep coloured fabrics … tick and polished wood wood wood everywhere … tick!!! Not a modern piece of decor in site … Hoorah!
Fair point, well made.
And so to bed … lets rejoice in the ‘room’ and it’s impeccable traditional interior …
Bye for now
R!
