Ivied brick
and ancient beams
icy draughts
damp wall seams
smokey fireplace
crooked floors
gaping holes
instead of doors
run down sheds
home for cats
ambiance
fit for rats
There are a lot of turn of the century derelict cottages dotted around the countryside here in Taz, some on still farmed land turned into hay storage space, Tiny hand built and crude they are amazing testimony to how hard it was for early settlers here as some are in remote cold places that would have been extremely difficult to farm and live in
