Just came across your lovely blog. For such a small place, it surely offered a lot of wonderful experiences, loved it. Thanks for sharing.
It is a wonderful place, so different from the strictly hands-off museums that I was dragged around as a girl
What an interesting place to visit with lots to explore. My mother has a butter churner very similar to that one. I have my eye on it!
