"I must tell the king"

Sadly, our prized original Victorian plaster ceiling fell down this week. A very sad moment and I fear the repair will be expensive if we want to conserve what we can of what's left. Luckily Chicken Licken wasn't underneath when it fell.

What a shame but I had to laugh at your title, I hope it is repairable :)

Oh no! But I must admit, I, too, laughed at the title. Hope you are able to have it repaired.

@hermann @rjb71 @thewatersphotos @gamelee @milaniet @onewing @lisammcloskey Thank you for your kind words. It did indeed make an almighty mess. The builders think it can be partially saved but I fear the cost!

Sad to hear of the loss -- but your capture of it begs a story, and your narrative fills it in! Good luck with the repair.

@jyokota Thanks Junko. No more has fallen thankfully.
