A Play Mobil galleon?!
More dreams about Chelsea
I’ve had an email from a colleague who is also at Chelsea this year. I won’t name her (or him) but she (or he) has also started having the Chelsea dreams. In her (ok, its definitely a her) latest one which she describes as a ‘wake up in terror in the middle of the night nightmare’ I am her Chelsea neighbour and it has come as something of a surprise to her that I am constructing a life size galleon (Play Mobil genre) and am filling The M&G Garden with pine chests of drawers and bedside tables. This in itself is not bothering her but apparently I am stacking it rather high and therefore she can see it over the boundary wall that divides our plots. This is not only against the rules but is frankly discourteous and she is cross.
My amateur analysis is that because The M&G Garden is ‘Arts and Crafts’ she has made a subconscious link to furniture hence the pine. Although I am disappointed that she has essentially gone down market with my concept.
