A Bit Of A Disaster At The Towers

Oh dear, it has to be said that the condition of the tiles in the shower at The Towers has been getting Darrell down a little bit, but admittedly not enough to make him do anything about them ……… but then yesterday the shower died (RIP) and that seemed to encourage Darrell to conclude that it was all a spooky Derek Acorah sign telling us it was about time we did something with the en-suite.

I also think it was also the perfect excuse for him to come over all Hugh and Dame Kelly to totally redesign said en-suite. Anyway, before you could say grout and tile spacers he was off to Topps Tiles on the 18X bus.

I knew he has always had a yen for a Moroccan themed shower room so that is what I really thought he would come home with.

But no, he had clearly channeled his inner Dame Kelly opting for a plain old, satin finish white tile with additional chrome trim, you could have knocked me down with a spirit level!

However, he did say he had been quite taken with some very unusual cuts of meat type tiles, but knew that when Hugh, with his strict vegetarian ways and occasional vegan leanings, came to stay he would have taken one look at them, flounced out of said shower room and asked us to call a taxi, and that would be just too horrible for his and Darrell’s friendship to contemplate.

  There were also some gentler woodland creature type tiles  …….

…… but having an inquisitive owl or rutting deer stare at you while showering wouldn't create quite the right ambiance.  So plain white it is, with Darrell saying that way we can easily change the towels, light fittings and nick knacks to give the room a whole new air whenever we like. The only problem is that despite all these high faluting ideas and fanciful plans we don't actually have a clue who to ask to do it! Watch this space ........ I have a feeling that this could be quite an adventure.
