We spent Hallowe'en in the spookiest bedroom
I have ever had the courage to sleep in.
The walls were covered with blood red silk
and the doors were decorated
with images of martyred saints.
It wasn't intentional.
We were booked into a nice little double room
but then MrM asked for an upgrade.
Suprisingly, this historic room was available.
Perhaps the Pope cancelled in the afternoon.
There may have been Medici assassins hiding
behind the heavy gilt wardrobe doors.
I was too scared to look.
The bathroom was the size of the Vatican city
and you could fit twenty cardinals in the bath.
There's a thought.
Let's think about the food
which was delicious.
Except the pig's cheek ravioli.
I wasn't convinced by that.
Perhaps that is why the Pope cancelled.
Luckily, I didn't wear my orange scarf.
I heard MissM's voice in my head say:
"Seriously...do you want to look like a pumpkin?"
So I wore blue.

What a suite!
ReplyDeleteMissM, love her.
She has trained me well.
Deletewow!
ReplyDelete(I can't get out of my head the image of all those Cardinals in the bath...)
Just imagine the giggles!
DeleteWell what's life without a little spice hey? Or in this case a whole lot of it. ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI am quite converted to the idea of the chaise longue. Perfect for draping oneself attractively.
DeleteI think that is actually far too grand for the current Pope!
ReplyDeleteYes- perhaps that is why he cancelled?
DeleteI cannot decide which I like best, the bedroom or the bathroom. Gorgeously cinemagraphic. Can you tell us where this amazing place is or is it a secret hideaway?
ReplyDeleteShauna. x
The bed was very comfy but you were staring at a dramatically gloomy mirror which was rather off-putting.
DeleteExcellent hallowe'en post - what a grand place, so glad you chose not to wear orange.
ReplyDeleteI have been well trained by my daughter.
DeleteI was of course bewitched ...
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting I look like a witch?
DeleteCan't go wrong, wearng blue. What an amazing place to stay.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...I understand there are parts of Liverpool where it is not sensible to wear blue!
DeleteEvery parent needs a MissM equivalent to stop them from showing themselves up. My own son once shocked me back to normality by saying gently, "Mum, this kitchen looks like a crazy lady's house" - and he was right. I've never been so slapdash since. (But I do like an orange scarf....)
