Thank you so, so much. I have never cross-posted, so another thing I
can try. Only started posting a couple of months ago because I had to
for the on-line course I was doing. (Web Design).
Love your house & the Church.
I don't know much about William Morris only the quote which I often use
to my children about "not having anything in the house....." I hate
