Grandfather Clocks and Dark Furniture
Grandfather clocks
And dark furniture.
Grandfather clocks and dark furniture.
A big wood fire with stone surround.
Wooden floors that creek when you walk.
And animal skins for rugs with big leather coaches to lounge on.
This is the picture of the dream in my head.
An aga stove with back boiler for winter.
A ten seater wooden kitchen table.
The dogs in front of the stove by the fire.
Double glazed windows with snow outside.
A pine tree forest, casting shadows on the ground.
A red squirrel knocking on the window for a nut and a crust of bread.
A cast iron pot cooking on the aga
A kettle whistling its merriment
Hot chocolate and frosty windows.
Under floor heating, toasty on bare feet.
Candles glimmering in dark corners.
A red rose in the snow
A symbol of love waiting to grow.
The green house is protected
Vegetables just beginning to shoot.
The hens are snuggled up in the straw
Under a warm red glow
This is the picture of the dream in my head.
