There is so much I like about this postcard. I don't know much about it, but some sleuthing determined that it is likely from 1904. It was the chimney that caught my eye. And the term 'snuggery'. I know it is a British term for a small, warm, comfortable room, or alcove. But a whole house - I could possibly live in this. A snuggery feels like it would be someplace sheltered, a private retreat, especially from the busyness of daily life. This has trees, sunlight, and obviously a fireplace. A big chair to sink into with a small table for my tea and a book... what more do you need?

It looks a bit like a Hobbit's house :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness -- snuggery?! What a charming term! And so befitting of this little cottage.
ReplyDeleteI'd worry about the crooked chimney! The nursery rhyme of the Little Crooked Man came to mind. It also looks like a pretty heavy chimney for the thatched roof, but I'm no expert! I do like the windows. What more would I need? A dog at my feet as I read!
ReplyDeleteYes, it the chimney that gets the attention.
