Hercule Poirot… would travel with the very best Egyptian cotton sheets from Italian label Frette. And a butler to iron them, of course.
Poirot has survived his reincarnation, Dr Who like, through various actors. My favourites are Peter Ustinov in the 1978 film of Death on the Nile [above] and David Suchet from the BBC drama series [below]. Buy the DVD.

Right now I’m reading Destination Unknown which is an Agatha Christie 😀 It’s really good 🙂
I don’t know that one. I’ve decided to re-read Agatha Christie in 2015, including the short stories. Happy Holidays! SD
Great idea! That sounds fun 😀
Just a bit of fun! SD
