Bridge farm

This farm situated in mid norfolk has several outbuildings and a nice little cottage which I don't think is that old.not a lot in the cottage.but it was fairly solid and safe.it had a lovely little forge at the end with a really nice anvil.and a rather large vice.

What a great location! Love it.

Liking that. wtf is a warble fly?

krela · Mar 15, 2014

Generally known as a bot fly these days, they're the ones you see swarming around livestock. If you're a horse rider you know ALLLLLL about them, evil little buggers with a vicious bite.

Thanks for the wonderful externals, especially of the house frontage which tells all. Old enough to have been well built and certainly worth saving, but that depends on who has their eyes on any land remaining with the farm and yard.

Mikeymutt · Mar 16, 2014

I think it's a fairly new property..I tried to do a mixture of externals and internals .

In the old days your cyst would have been called a Warble, hence the original name given to these species of fly - Warble Fly. In Victorian times one could always identify a Stockman by the number of Warbles on his forearms. The word Bot literally means 'Maggot' and the fly's name was changed because in general most of the species in this group tend to produce lavae that burrow around inside their host and not the huge cyst like warble. As Krela states, being around horses all my life tends to make one very wary of these buggers. Coopers Warble Fly Fluid tended to be more bothersome to the cattle and stockmen - evil smelling stuff!
