What a treat to get a nosey at David and Samantha Cameron’s Cotswold “cottage”, courtesy of Harper’s Bazaar – usually, you have to book fake viewings with estate agents for access like this.What a treat to get a nosey at David and Samantha Cameron’s Cotswold “cottage”, courtesy of Harper’s Bazaar – usually, you have to book fake viewings with estate agents for access like this.
One’s plebeian envy was instantly soothed by Samantha’s “shabby chic” claim that it is practically “falling down”. Elsewhere, there was the seagrass-style carpet (so hard on the tootsies, I find) and Dave relaxing on the steps of his designer shed, resembling a man whose very soul had been replaced by a Boden’s catalogue.

How funny that must have seemed when perchance it was given by a neighbour last yuletide, along with some delicious homemade nettle marmalade.One’s plebeian envy was instantly soothed by Samantha’s “shabby chic” claim that it is practically “falling down”.

Now some might claim that it hints at Cameron having a somewhat casual type of attitude, almost as though he never gave a stuff. To which I say, sheesh, can’t a former PM have a bit a laugh in the comfort of his own huge palatial cottage? I now excitedly await an invitation to the Camerons’ lovely home – I bet I could find a crocheted “Keep calm and cause Brexit” cushion cover somewhere.Now some might claim that it hints at Cameron having a somewhat casual type of attitude, almost as though he never gave a stuff.
