I agree. My flat opens onto a small but real room. With a window and a small fireplace. I turned it into a library for most of my books with two good chairs and a small table by the window (plus storage for coats behind a simple drape) and in winter I spend alot of time there reading, working, as it heats up so quickly. Also dogs love lying on the rug there, it's kindof the middle of the flat. In the US alot of homes just open onto the livingroom and it seems so impractical.
It would be nothing today, the judge was horrible& typical of the day She certainly was beautiful, but had a lot of bad luck with accidents. RIP Margaret
