i asked my father once when i was a kid...why do all the basement windows have iron bars?? he replied..well... wel into the 1900s people had to make sure their house was attackproof...there were gangs all around the countryside to attack you..The big house has iron bars on the basement levelwindows...the rest has outside shutters ..with a big iron strip who you can lock on the inside...the doors are solid oak with metal and a lott of locks on it...even the cottages and farmhouses on the estate have these kind of protection..and they all had guns and other things to get rid of people who wanted to rob them..in the old days you had to protect yourself...

It is supposedly warm in that room and Philip is still dressed in beanie, jumper and scarf.

Sadly I think it will more likely be that Percy gets a bad chest infection he won't really recover from - He is increasingly frail and in the medical world we would say he has poor physiological reserve- he lives in a cold, damp hell hole, that maybe haboring mold with insufficient nutrition no doubt. He will just get weaker and weaker until a infection or multi organ failure gets him.
When Stephanie Jarvis mentioned the "cabbage" plates, I was expecting to see the original, retro, vintage "green" plates too. Which, I personally remember seeing in my relatives' china cabinets in my youth. Not those modern white ones?Correct Wedgwood make the green cabbage plates, and there are also some majolica ones , but much older. The Coalport that Phi Phi bought has everything in that range from egg ups, toast racks , mint dish, tea strainer etc etc .He will be able to spend hours and hours finding all the different pieces , the little prat. His insatiable need to shop and collect
It’s the same with the blue Spode,He says when yet another price arrives in grabeau’ I did not know that’…You actually know very little about anything. Go BaCk to SchoOl
@Clara Burnett Any intel on this? I thought he was there for the winter and she was doing Michael a favour? Talk about no room at the inn!

Beswick used to make them I think.When Stephanie Jarvis mentioned the "cabbage" plates, I was expecting to see the original, retro, vintage "green" plates too. Which, I personally remember seeing in my relatives' china cabinets in my youth. Not those modern white ones?
'I am angry with myself that I ever found her charming-I can not look at her now without wanting to scream.'
I know.
I feel the same.
She is such a wonderful con artist.
She said they were Coalport.
