Corner table with a set of shelves on it, shelves contain the printer/scanner, boxes of old disks, magazine boxes full of useful crap, lined and plain papers, family history researches and personal banking/bills. There are several dragons loitering, a calendar with cats on and above all, a former firescreen turned picture which was embroidered by my grandmother in the last years of her life before blindness and breast cancer got her. It's a traditional embroidery of her favourite Jacobean 'Tree of Life' design, worked in blues, earthy browns, soft greens and creams. There are mistakes, the colours don't always blend like her earlier works, the transfer lines show through in places - but it is still crisp, neat and finely wrought...

Next to me on the right, under the window is my sewing table, slide out padded bit for ironing, sewing machine and equipment in the drawers. To the left, more huge shelves which carry the computer, CDroms, turntable for putting Vinyl onto CD, boxes of paper, tray of envelopes and special papers, drawers for sewing stuff, boxes of threads, including the remnants of my grandmothers sewing box, colours used in the embroidery above... boxes of fabric, box files of sewing magazines and a collection of mugs with dragons on them. On the shelf uprights, a small selection of straw hat, panama hats and a hard hat.

The rest of the room would just take up too much space here, but most of it is books and dragons...
