14th March - an office with a view (Patreon)

Today I decided to take a few work calls from the 'parrot room'.   My calls were quite intense but nonetheless I did gaze upwards and saw this view which I wanted to share!  

I reflected that this is the room where the original owner of the mansion had his office.  He had the parrots painted to remind him of his home in Cuba which I think he must have missed very much.  He also had the palm trees outside in the square too which would also have reminded him of Cuba.  

I suspect that we did pretty different jobs (he was into tobacco!) but it's still lovely think that across over 100 years I am now using his office and appreciating his taste in decorations very much!
