My bower needs a new look to make it grand once more
new furniture, curtains, nice carpet on the floor.
Gold paint for walls and ceilings to soften room at night
antique furniture to please my taste of grand delight.
Fireplace to warm when rest is needed end of day
soft music fills my boudoir brings pleasure my way.
En suite, the color pink I chose and deeper pink on ground
spa bath my choice to ease all aches that can be found.
With candles bright to set the mood to meditate each morn
before my chores I’ll pamper self in luxury each dawn.
CD player upon the shelf calm music drifts to set the mood
before I dress in clothes from closet then off to eat my food.
My sitting room is very plush with chairs to greet my guests
a fire burns bright in the hearth to warm at my request.
Tea and coffee there with Hine’s famous scones to eat
as maids on hand to serve my guests as each one I greet.
Bay window with table and chairs to view the Castle grounds
where morning tea is served as we listen to the sounds.
Luxury I have television, computer, music, books to read
my thanks to CAATCH who gave me everything I need.
As Head Of Harem in my rooms the guests I greet
welcome to Huguelot Castle do come in have a seat.
Dame angelica HOH

Love,

Dear Anne, Thankyou my friend, it was such a pleasure meeting you as well, I had such fun that day, especially the three of us writing the poem together. I'll be visiting Christchurch with my Daughter next February.
Lovely to hear from you.

Thank you dear Sister/Friend.

I knew I'd feel welcome and warm here, and for sure I do. I look forward to my visit, might just sat indefinitely. LOL A very homey Bower you have designed and decorated my sister. Good luck in the challenge.
-
I like the fireplace, good to warm my bones when I come in from the cold. Maybe put the television off to the left a little so I can watch and still stay warm. Do you like how I just stuck myself right in there? LOL
Yes please, Ima and I were arguing about our titles. He said mine was "PITYKW" (Pain in the you know what) and I suggested his was "IHYRIH" (I hope you rot in hell.) But I think we're both wrong. We wouldn't mind being reminded...we promise to copy them down this time.
How scary is it that I speak of me as "we," lol.
Just scones to eat? How about a buffet? I like buffets....

HAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHA I'm laughing my head off here at your comment! Tell me. How do I screw my head back on?
Love the titles you and Ima chose.
Yours is

NOW WRITE THEM DOWN!!

I seem to remember that your last bower was pretty impressive and placed particular emphasis on making guests and friends comfortable. Hope you net a lot of votes for this one.
-
-
Dear trista,
I love to make my guests feel at home. So I hope you'll visit often and try some of Hine's scones with jam and cream.
-
Thank you Joy for your lovely comment. I hope you'll drop by and visit sometimes.
-
-
It seems you've thought of everything to make not just yourself, but all your guests very comfortable! Now that is a sign of a great hostess, and it's easily seen why you are HOH I've yet to try one of Hine’s scones that I've heard so much about, but I hope I'll have a chance soon.
Best wishes and good luck!
~J.

You greet your guest's well
Dear AJ,
A lovely Bower you have designed to stay in while you're in the Castle. And don't worry you will have an assortment of scones to feed your guest's, I've found some great new recipes that I'll try out.
A great poem AJ.
-
Dear AJ,
Your Bower sounds great, I'll certainly be coming by to taste Hine's scones once again, they're yummy!
Love Jen.

Oh another lovely space to come and visit in the castle bowers.... my what elegance this castle will have...or will have more of, I should have said.
-
-
It will be lovely having you visit me Carol, Oh it's such fun having our own bower and Castle.
-
-
You are definitely on my list of ladies to visit, Angelica, as your bower sounds incredibly relaxing and cheery. Do you have a favorite flower that I may bring as a humble gift? Best of luck to you!
Elisa, CB & YOKEGG -

Roses dear Elisa are my favourite flower.

Tap Tap
Softly do I knock,
On the door of your abode,
In the hope that you will greet me,
With a smile and a nod.
Upon entering into the delight,
Of warmth and wonderment,
To sit and gaze upon your bower,
For a morning to be well spent.
As we gaze through your window,
At the castle grounds beyond,
Maybe on the beautiful gardens,
Or ducks on yonder pond.
Enjoying my surroundings,
And your selfless company,
I want to say thank you,
For the invitation to tea.
Arohanui,
Petratani

Dear Petra,
You're very welcome anytime to my Bower. And do you know the Duck's you speak of are our Paradise Ducks with their ducklings that we brought over from Beckenham Park. NZ
For wherever Hugh and I go they follow, they are like Family now and quite tame.

A very pleasant bower, indeed!
Dear Joan,
I would love to be a guest in your nicely decorated, inviting bower! To sit and have a cup of tea and scones in front of a glowing fireplace would be a wonderful way to spend time together. I love that you've included maids to tend to every need. And you've thought of all the necessities, like a CD, the TV, but especially the computer..without which none of this could be possible! Yes, your bower is delightful and I wish you the best in this contest!
Love,
Maureen

AHHH Maureen my sweet Sister/Friend we will be spending a lot of quiet time in my Bower listening to my meditation CD's and chatting away together.
Very true about the computer, we would never have met and that would've been a tragedy.
Lovesya Joan

Amazing Creative Writing Skills
This Hugh Wyles Group and Huguelot is like a writer's guild of intellectual writers that have bonded and gather in an elegant cyber castle. Like a beautiful ethereal dimension that I love to visit in your words. What a beautiful celebration of friendship and comradery. *roseI

Dear Pixie, it's a lovely place to escape to and join in the festivities. We have such fun at Huguelot Castle and to have our own Bower is great!
Love AAAJ

What lovely chambers you have envisioned here, Joan! You will surely be comfortable and well prepared for the rigours of court.
Your rhymes are great too. Best wishes!

Thank you Sweetpea, it's a lovely place to escape to.

Dear Bea, (My HOH.)
Each one of your detailed requests
has now been duly noted,
with def. provision for your guests
(especially those who voted!)
The selection of CD's is great
with which we've stocked your shelf.
You can relax and meditate
and just enjoy yourself.
And, when the King pops in on you
as he is doing his rounds,
while you are serving tea for two
we'll both enjoy the sounds.
A great entry! Good luck in the contest voting.
Love and hugs XXX
Hugh R.

Dear King Hugh,
Thankyou for granting my request's and especially the CD's that we can spend an enjoyable time listening to.
Love Bea.

Dear HoH,
Thankyou for your entry in this Huguenauties contest.
As I do not own a computer but use Hugh’s from time to time, I have asked Hugh to comment on my behalf on each entry to save my travelling across town each time.
Thankyou for understanding and excusing me.
Good luck in the contest.
Love, Heathcote.

This sounds so inviting, I can hardly wait to visit you wouldn't it be wonderful if all of our dreams for our own little hideaway could be real.
Your poem has a feeling of outpouring charm and that nice welcoming feeling
Good luck in the contest

Dear Dee, I hope you will come to visit me in my Bower, make it when the King and Queen come to supper and eat some of Hine's scrumptious scones that the King loves so much.
Joan
