Lantern rooflight
We ambled home from the Cotswolds via Upper Slaughter, a hamlet known by some as a Doubly Thankful Village.
A Thankful Village was one in which no serving men were killed in
World War 1. Even rarer is a village with no deaths in both World Wars, hence Doubly Thankful.
Ironic that the name should be Upper Slaughter.
We had a Michelin Star sandwich at the Lords of the Manor Hotel in Upper Slaughter.
This scene was in one of the dining rooms which has a lantern rooflight, here lit by daylight but you can see a host of globular glass light bulbs.
To get this scene your correspondent had to lie down on the plush carpet and look upwards.
Even then without the appropriate wide angle lens, the corners have been slightly cut off.
Staff scurrying hither and thither, dining patrons, and all may well have been slightly amused but I had checked my dignity at the front door.
My Artistic Director did not even tut-tut.
