United Kingdom Part Eight:: Bill and Chuck
A contemporary of Bill's, one Charles Rennie Mackintosh, caught my eye not long ago, and Joe and I decided that after our Road Scholar tour ended in Edinburgh, we would travel up to Mackintosh territory, i.e., Glasgow for a few days. It turned out that on the day that we were to see all things Mackintosh, I spent a couple of hours at the Royal Infirmary and a few more in my bed. I'd picked up a cold from a Road Scholar mate, and it had settled in my chest so seriously that I was afraid I had bronchitis. So I didn't get to see much at all of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, but what I did see persuaded me that he was going to be my new boyfriend, and I started thinking of him as "Chuck."

Oops, back to Bill's Tearoom. |
What I didn't anticipate was running into Bill at |
This chair was part of the Bill exhibit at the V&A. So I thought it to be his design. |
And THIS chair was at the Willow Tea Room in Glasgow, so it must be Chuck's design! No matter which of them designed it, I want it. |
This chair is definitely Chuck's, at the Lighthouse in Glasgow. |

I was so happy to be at Willow Tea Room. You wouldn't guess how sick I was. |

Love seeing their work here. Great stuff!
Sorry you were not up to par and had to miss some of the fun.
I've long had whatever of Bill's fabrics I could find and made DH a lap quilt called "Mostly Morris" as it has a few other fabrics in it.
Hugs!
