Freeka Towers Hotel

While visiting Tom, Kerstin and Oscar for Easter Joe and Claire stayed at an exclusive little place in Richmond. Described as enchanting and historic with dramatic views over the Thames. See the exquisite frescos, they could have been done by Leonardo himself. Zoom in on the picture to see the fine brush work that must have taken hours to do.

A delightful and a little cheeky residence, but not according to Joe, he comments that the fine freshcos are not so much Cysteine Chapel but Cistern Chapel. The corridors were damp smelly and odd beyond reason. History? not in this place except maybe a history of no cleaning and renovation that consists of painting some nude women and cherubs badly.


Ah the Drawing room, relax with today's papers or enjoy the plastic flowers perhaps you could feed the stuffed birds. Admire the portraits... see how the eyes follow you round the room.


Ah yes an example of one of many outstanding works of art, this particular masterpiece in Emulation was hanging out side Joe and Claire's Room. A deluxe 4 poster suite no less.

MY GOD! it has plastic curtains! Even the 4 poster beds drapes are made from finest plastic.... But.... Hello? who is this Rose reclining amongst the thorns of a crap hotel? All said and done though, Joe had a great time as he got to moan, whine and complain endlessly.... Poor Claire.
