It still bugs me that I found, then lost again, the last screw to the closet door mechanism in Merlin's bedroom.
Sometimes, being focused on details, the bigger picture eludes me; but usually I have the benefit of being made happy by very small things*. I couldn't ask for a greater gift than to be able to notice really interesting details, to find small sensory treasures all over the place.
This town, having been in existence in some form since at least 1150, is full of rich detail. Over the centuries things have disappeared, been covered over, replaced, restored, created anew. I'm finding and appreciating something whenever I can. Lucky you, you get to notice them too, sometimes with description, sometimes just in photographs.
Enjoy!

* Ooo, I think I like this phrase in its Winnie-the-Pooh-esqueness: "Made Happy by Very Small Things," kind of like a "Bear of Very Little Brain."
