three /THrē/
1. Equivalent to the sum of one and two; one more than two; 3.
Three is a hugely significant number for me this year. It will be three years since I was married. My immediate little family became three (plus dog). It is also three years since I lost someone very very dear to me. Three. A difficult and odd number. I’m not into odd numbers, unless it’s part of a design or styling situation, then.. three; basically rules.
So the AK post for the start of 2014, is not going to drone on about New Year’s resolutions or new beginnings of not drinking or eating chocolate. Both of which I have failed upon already.. thrice.
I’m going to celebrate three and all glorious triptychs in design, life and style – and give three the attention I’ve been failing to, for many years.
The Bronte sisters… Charlotte, Emily (who I was named after) and Ann. A wonderful trio without whom Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre would not exist. May their stories be read for many many years. The Conran family… Terence, Jasper and Sebastian .. No need for any further explanation.. but for me, Terence is a true winner. Fashion still baffles me. And Terence Conran’s use of space is immaculate in my eyes. Massive Attack… Daddy G, Robert (3D) Del Naja, and guest vocalist.. always three.. and seriously; the best. The Police; No words suffice. The Three Stooges, Moe, Larry and Curly, the original slapsticks.
The STR Crew... (Three words… three letters, many members). All legends in the making.
My best friends.. you know who you are, you three.
And finally, these three boys… bonded like no others.
Thanks three… I’ve made my peace.
That was beautiful Em.
It was lovely chatting to you on the weekend.
I’ve got your postcard now in one of our photo frames in the bedroom. Another photo we have is you and Evie, I think it was taken when you guys where in the UK. She is in that pouch thing and you are looking down at her.
You take care of yourself. I will send you a email soon, with an update of everyone. Catching up with Phi on Friday. Oh I will send some photos over of the kids too. Son
Thanks Sonny.. my three little muses.. xxx Love them dearly
Well done Number 3 and there are only about 3 of us who know what this means to you!
That was beautiful, great picture and so familiar.
Judy I forgot about the number 3! And this happens to be the 33rd AK blog post too!
I really enjoyed this post xx
