Moth Manor

A wee 100 year old cottage on the side of a rural airfield where a Tiger Moth (aircraft) was stored somewhere which we didn't see. It has been bravely restored but there are rotting windows, the wallpaper has left the station, and the stove top lost its cool - i.e. the thermostat didn't work!

Three good things:
1 An open fire and plenty of wood under those trees was warming and cosy when it was a cold drizzly day!
2. The food got burnt of course but as I had salad, there was something to put on the plate.
3. John took his hearing aids out and so was not annoyed but the intense chirping of birds in the ceiling! I just turned my music up!
Great shots

What a quaint little cottage. Hopefully they can do more restoration on it. It looks like a nice place to gather thoughts - with the exception of the birds in the ceiling! Nice shots, Maggie.

Very quaint. It must have quite a history. Nice combination of photos, Heather.

@congaree Thanks John, no heather though just that rogue plant gorse, everywhere!

How charming! The living room has such a cozy feel. I would love this except I would want everything to work ;-)

Interesting find

What an interesting place to stay - (this is the same era as my house which started life as a farm workers cottage). Nice collage - I like the fact that it is framed too.

Good collage to show the cottage. The building looks fairly sound for that age, at least outside! No neighbours to hear the loud music either.

Love the interior styling. Deco I guess which would fit the period.

@jennywren Funny you saying that - at this time when we were staying here, it was on the news that a guy had been electrocuted while trying to cut the electric cord to a nearby caravan which was playing loud music till 4 am!

@maggiemae That's scary. I might have been tempted to do the same!

Lovely collage. I hope the cottage can be fully restored. Having birds in the ceiling sounds like a health hazard though.

@daisymiller Knowing old houses, I'd have to say I would prefer to hear birds, Daisy and not rats!

t sounds as if staying here is quite an adventure. A very sweet little house though, and I love the way the living room looks in your capture.

Very nice collage. I want to stay there.

Sounds like a lovely stay! Hmmm.....old houses have a lot of character, and LOTS of problems! Cute cottage....
