An old village store and post office....
....inside the village store......
....what memories it even brought to me of some of the items on the shelves. It made me feel quite old! All the village from the chemist shop with all its wooden drawers and glass fronted cabinets full of pills, potions and equipment, the dairy with its churns and butter pats, to the wash-house with its old mangle and dolly tub was an intersting insight into how different life was years ago. How much harder even the ordinary everyday tasks were.
And, at the bottom of the garden was ....Lila Cottage.....
So named, it was said, as lilac bushes used to be grown all beside it, to try and mask the smell !
No. I don`t remember using one of those!
