  • intriguingly different

    Yesterday Sally and I enjoyed afternoon tea (little fingers raised) at Wivenhoe House Hotel – a wedding anniversary gift we thoroughly enjoyed. The picture here doesn’t fully do justice to it, but you get the idea… I was fascinated by the hotel’s strapline: “intriguingly different”. That is an intriguing strapline, it’s certainly different.
