I'm with you on the earthier skills (indeed I have been jam making this week).<br /><br />DW - happy memories for you then. This way of living seems so familiar to me too.<br /><br />Rowan - this cottage is in the main farmyard and the one they used in the series was elsewhere on the estate and is now used as a holiday cottage (arm and a leg job to rent it I suspect!)<br /><br />Mac n Janet & Val - Glad you enjoyed the photos and the trip down memory lane.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-36070327903141531332010-04-30T18:21:55.792-07:002010-04-30T18:21:55.792-07:00I greatly enjoy lilving history museums.

We try to combine some of the "modern conveniences" with the earthier skills of gardening, canning, preserving and such which give us joy and help economically.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-18232601887642134262010-04-30T05:39:46.844-07:002010-04-30T05:39:46.844-07:00This brings back memories of staying with my Linco...This brings back memories of staying with my Lincolnshire Granny. I used to sleep in a bed just like the one in the photo, and there was a cast iron fireplace in the corner, and a rag rug!Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-10668108682615928952010-04-29T12:30:12.557-07:002010-04-29T12:30:12.557-07:00Is this the cottage that was used in The Victorian...Is this the cottage that was used in The Victorian Farm or was that another of the Estate cottages?
