Understanding the Draught: Charm, Not Defect

I hear buyers say ‘draughty’ as though it were a swear word. Let me reframe, my friend. A draught is ventilation with personality. It keeps the whiskers alert, the ears engaged, and the sitter permanently aware of the world’s slight disapproval.

Of course, if you prefer to avoid a draught, look for properties marked ‘sealed’ or ‘insulated’. Though I must warn you, those listings tend to carry a premium, and they smell faintly of carpet glue. A good sunbeam in a gentle draught is the finest pairing since tuna met a small ceramic dish. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise, including me, in the next sentence.
