I couldn’t agree more, there is something very romantic about Stock and I can totally see why, when individuals and businesses discover the village, they want to stay and build their businesses and lives there.
I’m very tempted myself. So, if you are ever passing through the green belt of Essex, pop by and discover Stock for yourself, I can highly recommend the florist, the hair salon and The Hoop, a great bar with many traditional features and original timber framework, which serves great food and drink. So maybe stay a while, just don’t push those house prices up too much!
After visiting Stock, I came home a little disappointed with my current abode so decided to treat myself to something new for my home. I am currently browsing the catalogue of interior design company Beaumont and Fletcher, who create the most divine couture collections of fabric, passementerie and cushions.
Every piece is truly beautiful and the extraordinary fabrics are hand embroidered using fine coloured silks with gold and silver threads. Some pieces are embellished with pearls and crystals, others inlaid with semi-precious stones, but each is a work of art. Every Beaumont & Fletcher sofa, chair and footstool is created by skilled craftsmen, in a dedicated workshop in Kent. Using the finest materials and traditional methods, each piece epitomises the individualistic style and uncompromising quality for which the company is renowned. I want everything, but need to take my time to choose that one special piece …. so, I may be here a while.
