Can't wait for her to return from "vacation" and take a shower. 😁 And I bet she will read each and every one, and hopefully respond in her lovely Engrish. 🥰 I just hope she won't relocate. This place is perfect for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the very old houses here have only one or two. This is what I mean: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central heating not around then so heating was soley from fire places 🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here they routed the exhausts from all fireplaces in the house to one or two central chimneys. Like this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And older houses often have bigger rooms and higher ceilings. I always like the older houses better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central heating not around then so heating was soley from fire places 🔥 Same in America, older houses needed fireplaces in each, it was the only way to keep warm or even cook food in iron pots or skillets. It is seen as "romantic" nowadays, but back then it was essential (and grueling). My father still believed in this, and that's where I earned my biceps and forearms, from splitting and stacking firewood with an axe and maul. Ahhh the good old days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
