Such lovely thoughts, Mairi! I've connected to old houses/buildings since I was a girl. I have some very distinct memories that have remained with me a long time. There was this one abandoned house we used to drive by all the time in the country. I spent many passing moments trying to imagine it in its prime, beautiful and full of life. There's an almost tangible connection in moments like that.

Thank you, Sarah! You expressed that beautifully. I know you have that same yearning sense of the past.

My daughter loves the Tudor Farm show. I will have to get this book to read to her!

So beautiful, Mairi - and you know how I resonate with all this!! Every time I watch or read Ruth Goodman, I feel like her enthusasm and positivity is contagious...it makes me want to do ALL the things!

The past has so much to teach us. I love the mysterious roads you've found, and it's lovely seeing you seek out these things.

Did the first road actually have that abandoned sign??

You will discover something—walk down that road next time. It looks enchanted!
