It is 1434.
You have drifted back in time to an upper room on Coopers Street in Bruges.
There is no one here.
It’s a lovely space, with many unique things to examine. There is a fine oriental rug – costly and exotic. Strange figures carved on the velveted chairs. An ornate brass chandelier with a single candle burning.
The oranges are inviting, a rare delicacy imported from the far south. You peel one, hoping… no one will notice.
A string of amber beads glistens. A brush, hangs from the top of the high-back chair, silent witness to the cleanliness of the chamber.
Finally, a marvellous mirror with a Latin inscription on the wall above it: Jan van Eyck was here.
The soft bed beckons. Falling asleep, you hear a conversation and a dog barking somewhere in the house.
You wonder: When will they return to the room in Bruges?
