In the 70's my friends Aunty had a cottage and it didn't have running water or electricity! They probably have generators now, I know the pub has everything, but I think that the people who have the cottages just want to get back to basics and get away from it all! xxthriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621095769476921131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-70439058972940204222012-08-28T23:20:39.564+01:002012-08-28T23:20:39.564+01:00What a great post, thanks for sharing your photos ...What a great post, thanks for sharing your photos from this trip, it sounds fascinating, so full of atmosphere and history.
