It's lovely! Which library are we talking about? I shall get my diary out..... Yes, Lil. Be Jealous. Be VERY Jealous.
(those kids definitely need to go on a diet!)
If you ever get to Italy, Pims, you will be bowled over by the mediaeval wall and ceiling paintings everywhere - I'll post some piccies for you if I can find them on my computer. Italians are so used to seeing them every day, they get blasé about them, but I still wander round with my head back and my mouth open, a danger to myself and everyone else!

Finally went in to The John Rylands Library G. It is awsome a cathedral to books.

I've never been there. Not sure why. When you live in a place, you never appreciate it, or even get around to exploring it as much as when you go a-visiting.
I've put a new picture on for you, btw.

Fabulous.My lottery dream for years has been to own a nice 15th century Book of Hours. Or maybe just one beautifully illuminated page. I won't be greedy.

Gattina @it is because beauty-in-light is natural Italian quality. They do not register it. It is part of them. And their food is as good as their art :)))
