It does have electric lights in the bathroom, (modern but not too) but the rest of the house is amazingly old and unspoiled. The Morris Dancers would come around, there was a fiddler, a hearth cooking demonstration and others showing their craft skills. Outside would be cider pressing, an ox pulled wagon, lots of other things to do and see. My Friend Elaine and I did it together, she quilting and me baskets. I loved climbing the chimney stairs to the attic and exploring the barn. <br />Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and ...Happy Solstice! <br />Hugs, <br />SherryRustique Gal https://www.blogger.com/profile/00437687948857614576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460330305204724476.post-27395983071194623042013-12-21T10:32:14.358-05:002013-12-21T10:32:14.358-05:00What a lovely place.

It's neat to think of Ashfield as the frontier.

It's a history of Ashfield around the time of the American Revolution. There isn't much about points west because Ashfield was the "frontier" at that time. There's a lot about the neighborhood I live in (Baptist Corner). On the land we live on there's the remains of the neighborhood school house, just a crumbled foundation.Anna Westleyhttp://fromwindfallfarm.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460330305204724476.post-73357979703779915042013-12-17T19:07:38.363-05:002013-12-17T19:07:38.363-05:00Yes, prisons, or even worse, factories Yes, prisons, or even worse, factories D Goskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353495585591945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460330305204724476.post-4514208668158881392013-12-17T18:06:34.198-05:002013-12-17T18:06:34.198-05:00Lovely, Kim... wish we lived close enough to put o...Lovely, Kim... wish we lived close enough to put on our snowshoes and ramble over to eachother's fires for tea on snowdays like this!!
