The family run hotel where we stay is cosy. the original fourteen foot high ceilings with moldings and plaster decorations and a ten foot high window. The furniture is mismatched but period, interesting and solid wood. The plumbing is less happily period. New shower with plenty of hot water and good pressure, but a temperamental toilet. Makes flushing feel like a primitive psychological conditioning experiment. The sort where a chicken being fed random pellets of food repeats the behaviour in which it was engaging when the pellet arrived, hoping for the best. Thus we form theories based on the success of the last flush - jiggle first and then hold it down firmly - that are rapidly proven dubious.
