A few things that wouldn't have ended up in my new novel, The Wednesday Daughters, if I hadn't traveled to England while writing it: a blue cottage door; a snowbow arcing over Windermere (which in England, means the lake); a castle that isn't really a castle; a leather patch in a manor house
wood floor; three waterfalls spilling into a single pool before flowing under a miniature
bridge - house; a coffin
road; a slipper tub not in the bathroom, but evocatively at the foot of a bed.
