Tales from the Old Four-poster Bed

If only beds could talk! They’d reveal the secrets of faithful service to their masters.

Jane fell in love with their four-poster bed when she married her beloved Jack.

They had their first ‘cuddle’ on a stay-at-home honeymoon.

First dearly loved son, Benjamin was born in that same bed nine months later.

Benjamin’s two sisters followed in quick succession, again, greeted by the midwife in the marital bed. Jane was adamant she wouldn’t give birth in hospital but at home surrounded by her loving family

Jack and Jane enjoyed their happy married life together for over forty years. They’d changed the curtains and wallpaper many times over and over again – but not the bed. The nearest Jane would concede to was a change of mattress over the years when needs must.

How apt then, when Jane developed inoperable cancer, she pleaded with her beloved Jack that she died where she had felt so loved.

She got her dying wish.
