Thanks for reading Pipp, it was dust in epic proportions - it had to have just a few words at least..! X

I love this. I grew up spending most of my time at a barn in South Carolina. I know that dust well -- generations of dust bake themselves into your skin. And I love the freezer. Any well worn stable has a forgotten appliance. Thank you.

Thank you for reading Ben, old barns can be fascinating places once all the dust as been removed, there are always a few surprises, some wonderful some very much otherwise..!

We had mostly the latter...

Have a good day when you wake..!

JoJo hoovered our grenier a couple of days ago, with a plan to turn it into 'her' space ... sewing, yoga, reading, hiding from me when I'm writing ... dust and cobwebs ... yuk!

I like Jojo’s thinking... I have had a similar idea here, it may be finished before me, who knows?

Please tell me you don’t only have cobwebs in the grenier ?

Cobwebs everywhere! Barns, lofts, sheds!

Goodness, these 100 words paint such a vivid picture of history. For me, it's amazing how the limited word version is able to do this.

Huge thanks Debs, many of the hundreds of old and useless paraphernalia were inherited when we bought the barn, the history and stories behind them all lost, mostly, almost certainly in the dust…

Thanks my darling, there were so many old artifacts inherited with the barn, most, I’m certain had a story to tell but we’re in such a sorry state that their usefulness, whether for physical or whimsical, was hard to decide… Love and hugs back sweet soul xxx
