Just wondering what passes the test of time? I personally have an old Casio watch and if you count fruit trees, those are pretty old too.

      I live in a refurbished barn on a farm. Age unknown but the imperial bricks and timbers used hint at Victorian. Love it. I have to accept Rats in the exterior walls, attic and the first floor cassette, and the house being cold even in summer due to the stone floor, and the related heating bill. Regardless, it’s a better place to be than any modern house and I’m happy here. It provides inspiration. That might be the radon slowly killing my brain cells though.

      Ugh, I grew up in a house of similar age. It’s amazing how outdoors a nominally indoor space can be. The layers of history those places have can be neat, though.
