So me and rubex done a three day tour of Wales.we have encountered heavy rain,heavy hail.we have waded through mud and water and cow poo.we have seem more sheep than you can count in your sleep.we have trekked up hills.i learnt one Welsh word.."araf" which means slow,it was everywhere in the hills.we met an angry farmers wife,an eccentric scouser,we set alarms off.many comical moments normally at my expense,like me about to climb through a window and rubex was stood on the inside laughing at me because she had walked through the door next to it.she said the look on my face was priceless.but all in the name of excitement and fun and we would not have it any other way...we met up with my friend who showed us some unusual stuff..
Anyway we met up with my friend.and he took us to this house just out of Wales..it really was in the middle of nowhere.we took the trek in the rain through some beautiful scener.the house belonged to a couple who were artists,did a bit of sculpture and made hand made wallpaper.the house had no electricity to it.thanks to my friend for showing me this very special house that only a handful have seen.
The dining room.the table cloth still sitting in situ.
Cooker and utensils in dining room.
The main kitchen.
One of the main rooms.the wallpaper starting to peel off.
The main living room.this had a big modernist sculpture near the window
Storage room.
Another reception room.
Cigar box on the fireplace
Rubex commented how small the bathroom was for a house this size.and how tacky it was in context with the rest of the house
Main hall with a cabinet full of fine china
Grinding stone on the top floor
Second floor landing
A singer table.sadly the singer was not in there.
Various bottles and books on the bedroom window sill
Cabinet full of hand made wallpaper
One of several bedrooms
Fireplace with one of the previous owners paintings on it
A basket in the loft.not sure if this was a baby one
Kitchen scrubbing brush
Nice kettle on the cooker.loved the handle on this
Bottle and feather
Sculptures on the window sill.
Some foreign magazine.these were aplenty
Nice candle and dome
Out of all the pictures in there this was my favourite
Rubex and my friend dragged this old cart out.used for taking casualties out of the mine
