The Old Dairy

Commonly known as the "Engine Room" this is where all the laundry is washed and sorted for the cottages, and it really is the busiest room in the house. Originally it was used as a dairy and is wonderfully cool, but it has never quite been kitted out to meet with current demands. So out came all the make do kitchen cuboards and in are going purpose built shelves and cuboards to store all the linen and the endless suplies for the cottages. It's all just cosmetic stuff, but as always with cob it means dust and mess everywhere. I cannot wait as we have decamped to an upstairs bedroom for storage and the washing machines are currently in the apple juice making shed. This has lead to an increase in miles covered which my legs remind me of at the end of each wash day!
