We have some lovely old barns at Barrusclet. They are unfortunately falling down! Take a look at the main ridge of the tall barn......this needs sorting out soon otherwise the whole lot is going to cave in. Once the roof has gone down, breaking all the tiles as it hits the ground, the walls will start to deteriorate. They seem to be mostly held together by mud. Having said that, the mud here does seem to be of an exceptional quality. It's a long time ago, but Aristotle or Plato imagined a world of forms, where the perfect image of everything on earth was held. Anyway, this mud must come close to the perfect form of mud. Walk around in this and you soon end up on mud platforms. Naomi Campbell would be 10ft tall in no time if she lived round here.
Saving these barns from further damage is a bit of a priority. Sadly some of our budget will be instantly munched up by something that doesn't move the main house on at all. Mmmm, we didn't think of that did we? Anyway, check out those lovely corner stones. Straight as you like. Who needs a structural engineer?
