There is something comfortable, soothing, and safe in the tones of those old grandfather clocks. I thought this was an excellent post.

Maybe the graphic is not required. This has that cosy Saturday afternoon feeling. I can hear the clock and the chimes.. HAHA. Rather like the chimes in Pink Floyds Dark side of the moon.
