O&S - the ugly house

22 Sep 2012 4 3 332
The whole of this cottage [Tŷ Hyll] is largely built from large boulders, with no mortar. This end wall is actually the chimney! . Do a very nice cream tea, and with plenty of bees to watch ... I was convinced one set of bumble bees were living in the gap to the top right hand corner of the boulder without moss [see "note" on the image]. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowdonia_Society

CAS[h] - sar : Little Thatches.

"Little Thatches" in Stratford-sub-castle. This cottage was occupied by my great-aunt Vera Brickell, in the years between retiring from her job as the cook/housekeeper and her demise in 1989(?). I remember staying there - at least once in the room behind the little upstairs left hand window; not a square corner, nor was the floor quite level. Aunty Ve taught me, and my brother, a good deal about cookery and household management, as she had already done with my mother and her sister.
