Great stuff Davey Boy,
 
This is just what we want, well me at any rate.
 
Those last few posts are the most interesting on here since Mrs Curious treated us all to her very private fountain outside the bank in Horwich End.
 
I am sure Mrs Curious would agree with me and say; “Keep it up Dave”.

It is very odd to see that the kitchen does not even merit a mention, whereas nowadays it is one of the most important selling points of the property. How times change.

Better not let Colin Cormorant and Peter Pelican see the bit about trout fishing - nor Cllr Jon come to think of it!

Good photos as they are Parabuild, please can you desist from posting snow scenes?

This winter I have had enough snow to last a lifetime, and if I see any more, I may have to retire, with a bottle of whisky, to my warm, darkened room!

One reason when purchasing a lodge or any Large type home /manor etc the Kitchen is going to be used by servants. The servants lot is not priority to lady's and gentry.

You are quite right Curtaintwitcher.

Being one of the lower order myself, I thought about this in a typical "lower class" way, but obviously the high class gentry wouldn't care if the kitchen was just a fire in the middle of the back garden, as long as their meals were served up on time!
