To close the story from Raspberry Ripple, a few snaps from cottage life. An interesting tap, with the water leaving it over the top, in the way of a garden water feature.
The combination bolt to the cellar. It might have been a small cottage but it still ran to a cellar. And I have never seen such a bolt before.
The latch to the bedroom door, worked on the blind side by a red braid.
The hooks on the back of the door to the bedroom cupboard. Leaving aside the detail that the nail sections appear to be square rather than round, I imagine they would be available from Screwfix in the absence of a blacksmith.
Old style floor boards, between twelve and nine by one. None of that tongue and groove rubbish, just about fit for chicken sheds, here. These ones peeping out from under the partition between the stair cupboard and the bedroom.
One of a number of side lights in the dining room. They rather reminded us of the rather grander side lights in the Wigmore Hall. Probably not available from either Screwfix or Ikea.
And so to bed.
PS 1: a pity that I did not think to take a picture of the inside of the electrical cupboard. That made quite a picture too.
PS 2: I normally avoid multi-snap posts, being put off by the vagaries of the formatting. But I am impressed today by what happens when you click on one to enlarge. Very clever, on this PC anyway. Telephone another matter.
