One Room Schoolhouses, Town Criers, and Sheep Paddocks (I know why they call it the Old Country)


Leah is enjoying her new schoolhouse here in the games room. There are several desks for children so Leah had her pick. She chose the one with the view of the sheep...

The guests in the other cottage are 2 older couples from Staffordshire so I doubt they will be using the kid's desks. One of them, Gordon, stopped by last night to give us a Christmas card. We had a nice chat and it turns out he is the deputy town crier of Staffordshire. I tried to find out what they "cry" about and how often but this is hard to do without being rude, so I am left wondering.

This is so cute. Must almost make Leah want to do school work. Well, maybe not. But at least she got a choice of where to sit.
