Great post. Thanks Kate! Yes please to a before and after piece on your London house!

Love your comment about the mortgage meaning. I am also learning Italian and l enjoy some of the meanings - table is masculine as an object but feminine when it is laid (good old patriarchy!) and love that Litigare is the verb to quarrel.

Always exciting to see your posts in my inbox :) Your Times piece -- love the pink/brown colors you chose for your kitchen. It looks so much larger than the Before photo, I never would have thought you could fit a table in that corner!

Thomas Cromwell: can’t recommend Hilary Mantell’s novels - even better than the TV series. Brilliantly researched, historically accurate and beautifully written.

I think that it’s a January thing, but I’ve got a terrible case of the “blahs” at the moment. Every single thing: blah. And your post has cheered me up today - enough to launch myself into the never-ending (to date!) search for lamps, table and floor. So expensive, so…blah??
