This is a follow on post from my ploughing post below.On Saturday we were asked to plough at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum near Belfast, Northern Ireland. This just has to be the most authentic museum of it's type anywhere in the World. I first visited as a primary school pupil in 1970 when there were just 3 houses built. All the houses are removed stone by stone or brick by brick from locations throughout Ulster and built back as they would have been originally. I love the place! We have been very prosporous since and many of the old homes have disappeared to make way for modern up to date, state of the art homes all throughout our countryside....bit of a shame really. But I am old enough to remember people living in these types of homes, just like some of your forefathers before leaving for America and beyond!
The Hill farm, mostly a sheep farm...
With a small range of implements...
and a farmhouse garden patch
The next farmhouse (cottage) was more prosporous....
With a better farmyard, and haybarn....
Inside the turf fire is burning in the old hearth...
