My cottage dates back to the 1500's and is still primitive in some ways. I have an open fire in my sitting room so, preparing for next winter I got the Chimney Sweep to call.
My daughter and my grandsons were visiting so it was a new experience for these 'modern' boys.
We waited in anticipation for the brush to appear out of the top of the chimney and when it finally poked through, along with tradition, we all made a wish.
Can't tell you what I wished for or it won't come true!!!!
On one of our days out we visited Coldharbour Mill which is near my home, It is a working museum showing how wool was spun into yarn and then woven into fabric. We learnt alot from the very knowledgeable volunteers who work the old machines.
Upstair is an exhibition shows rooms from the Second World War era. Having being born shortly after the end of the war it was nostalgic for me as my home as a child was very similar.
In one of the other rooms, set out as a small operations room was this blackboard. September the 19th is my grandsons birthday.
Finally, I loved this little girl with her gas mask.
Her face says it all!!
Have a great weekend,
xox Angela.
