Grandmother's sitting room
The gas fire's on and the kettle's just gone
A 1970s British front room kept exactly as it always was: floral armchairs, a tiled fireplace, a wall of family photographs and a cat asleep on the arm. On the little nest table a cup of tea has gone half-cold beside an open crossword and a pair of reading glasses. Outside the lace-curtained window the garden is grey and still, and nothing here is in any hurry at all.

In this room
- A journal: what you write stays in the room, and only the people you choose can read it.
- A sound of its own — rain, a fire, a radio station to leave playing.
- A clock that keeps your time.
- A window with the real weather where you are.
- A note for the day, where you will see it.
- Frames for your own photographs.
- An assistant that knows the room and what you keep in it.
- A shelf for your files.
- A lamp that turns the room from light to dark.
- A flame flickers.
- The lamps give a soft glow.
- After dark the same room has a night of its own, with its own light.
