The Dog Keeper

I dreamed my Beloved and I lived in a big mansion by a river. The style was very 1920's and there was a big conservatory (like a glass veranda) and many rooms. We decided to open a bed and breakfast but on our own terms. We wanted only a few guests and to keep to a reasonable price so that it wouldn't be for rich people only. Everybody was pushing us to rent all the rooms and make a maximum of money but we didn't care about money. We wanted a few guests only whom we would take great care of. Perhaps we could open in the conservatory a tearoom on Saturdays for the locals but only with a few tables. We didn't want to become slaves to our work either. We were aiming for quality over quantity. Our first customer was a young Chinese woman, perhaps because China and Japan in particular represent for me refinement and it feels like they put a lot of love in the things they hand-craft. There was going to be for sure a waiting list, since we didn't want to expand our capacities but the power we had, we were going use it wisely.
