This is a photograph of the outdoor washouse,in the ruins of an old cottage where my husband used to live as a child. We visited this place and took the photo in 2007.I wonder how many of us 'older ladies' can remember helping our mothers or grandmothers with the family wash, on a Monday morning. You can see the little doorway at the bottom left, where the fire had to be lit to heat the water. Oh! Those were the days eh!

Wow, now that's a trip down memory lane for sure! I've never seen anything like that before but I do remember the wringer washer my grandma had. She was always reminding me to keep my hands away from the rollers. This is a fantastic page!
