Embracing the chaos, Will Mellor finds himself in a messy situation as he stumbles upon a woman shaving a man at the Farriers Shop. But amidst the clutter, there's beauty to be found - just like Jan Steen's painting 'The Dissolute Household' capturing the lively mess of life in 1663-64. And sometimes, even after Christmas festivities have ended, we're left with remnants of joy and merriment, much like Mark Symons' 'The Day After Christmas'. Life can be unpredictable; one moment you find yourself stepping into a puddle of mud wearing red wellington boots, illustrated perfectly by Muriel Dawson. In this journey called life, we may feel lost at times but remember that even in 'The Tavern', where things might get messy and confusing, connections are made and stories unfold. As they say down South in Kentucky USA - 'Home Sweet Home', where memories are created amidst all the messiness.
