July 2012: The oldest barn in London

So as usual, Muppet BD forgot that his camera was set to black and white, and ended up taking a shedload of photos in BW.

Undergrowth. At one point, here was a motte and bailey castle.

On one side is a library

Really well maintained

You can pop into the Ruislip Library here, what a lovely place,. eh?

Diya was away getting dressed for her ballet while we were enjoying some icecream. I popped into the barn in the back. The oldest barn in London, dating back couple of hundred years and has been recently restored.

Some photo’s of this amazing structure.
