Ada’s imperfect cup
A useful possession and a connection to the ceramicist nearby. Its value is not a matter of perfect symmetry.
Neri’s Fern Court · Garden Steps
A little room
to unwind.
Neri is off duty and has gathered her books, work things and tea for a quieter afternoon. Help her make room to unwind, then share a little shade.

A little shade
Your neighbourNeriA visit with Neri.
Neri is a bus dispatcher with a practical eye and dry humour. Her sheltered reading loggia sits beside a blue basin in Garden Steps. She knows a good place to stop, and is happy to share it with a neighbour.
She has gathered work belongings, reading things and tea to settle into the afternoon. Arrange what she needs, find useful homes for the rest and leave a book close enough to enjoy. The room is making space for rest and company.
Ada’s imperfect cup gives the visit a small connection to another door along the steps. A pause with Neri can lead towards the river and more neighbours to meet. You’re welcome to stop here with the arranging unfinished.
Belongings with a little meaning
The things
that make a room.
A work satchel
Something to set down where it can be found again, without letting work take over every surface.
Books and a light shawl
Small comforts make the reading space ready to use. Putting things away can make room for keeping something out.
A welcome, in your own time
There is no need to finish tidying before you take a breath.
Move things, try another place and Undo when you change your mind. A visit can end before the room is fully tidy.
