How do you find this stuff? It's uncanny!

[thomascanty]

That's weird. I wonder what it was doing there. It kind of looks like Mark Twain, too.

I can't even begin to tell you all what's in there
and you see only what's on the ceilinghttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

:lol: :lol:

I said 15th century
apologies ...it's 17th
as it was built in the sixteen hundreds.
(what's a century or two between friends ):lol:

the owner has built it to being suitable to live in
:confused: (I think):lol:


it is a pub , plus bed and breakfast place in another town not too far away

the fellow who owns it has collected so much stuff :shock:
very interesting stuff
and the place already has some stuff there , since the eighteen hundreds.
for example a cog wheel for grain going to the lower floor
and a hook which swung the animals from one floor to another to be slaughtered :mad:

and the small windows
it was extra dark in there so I had to use flash when I looked up and saw the coffins :shock:
21st birthday party's (or others) are held in that loft

[stoneylonesome]

I hope that coffins aren't an omen of what will come to you if you eat his food at the pub. :lol: :lol: :lol: Great shots Marie, I love them

ha ha ha
you should see the pub Sandy http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

hard to know which is the customer or which are just old relics hanging about
it's absolutely priceless
http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

now that I said that, someone offered the owner five million for it
but he will never sell
he brought me up into the loft to show me his collections http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif

it was a complete fluke I was there at all
passing by I heard the cock crow and looked into the yard (in the town) http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif
the rest is history .

I saw so many hens, cocks, pigeons, even a peacock and peahen http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif
ducks , all kinds (some russian and some rushing about)http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif
all feeding together
he drove in , in a jeep , saw me gobsmacked looking at the animals
and took me all around the place

one fellow , the better for drink, told me a story of how the ducks raped their sister http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif
they clasped her beak first and threw her on her back
two kept holding her beak shut
while they did the jobhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif

he (the man, a good customer ;) )complained to the owner about this 'treatment'
but he said it was their way,
nothing to be done
( 'I did it my way '... like in the song .. frank sinatra ) http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif



what a heap of stuff all around (alive and dead) http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif
and stories ..no doubthttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I love life's surprises and this just about beat the lot
