The Case of The Italian Room ...
It’s always a little exciting turning up somewhere new.
Today after an early start and a four hour drive I walked into a finely tiled reception hall, signed in an picked up a visitors badge and entered The Italian Room.
I have to admit it wasn’t the type of surroundings I thought I would find myself in today but it was a very pleasant surprise.
The hall was designed by Pugin who “did” the Houses of Parliament and it was here that Agatha Christie wrote ‘The tale of the Christmas pudding’ and ‘After the Funeral’.
Fortunately no one was killed but we spent a long day working.
As Poirot would have said, “It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within - not without.”
