England - Thirsk, Fireplace at 23 Kirkgate


"It was always a good time when the work of the day was through and the three of us lay back in the shabby armchairs and stretched our feet out to the blaze." (Chapter 7)


Texted the wife while here that I could not believe that I was actually standing in the very room mentioned so many times in the stories of Wight's early days with the practice...a place fixed in my imagination as I read through them (though not entirely accurately as it turns out).  None of the furniture here, nor in the rest of the house for that matter, belonged to the Wights or Sinclairs, but is of the period and would at least resemble what had been here.  Next focus will be on the mantle...
