My sister lives in a cute mud walled cottage - so I thought I'd share some shots of it. She keeps it painted and in top notch condition, and it is a house full of character. In the bottom right photo, you can see the thickness of the walls. It's a lovely place to stay, in town, but down a right of way, so it's pretty peaceful.
@yaorenliu Maybe you are thinking of my sister who walked the length of NZ? This sister is very fit too, and rides her bike everywhere, as well as doing a physical job.
