Call it thread drift or of no importance but somebody above was enquiring about Walter's house. I think that it had been referred to as a farm labourer's cottage which in my mind conjures up a cramped small single storey structure.
This evening I was looking at some photographs which I took on one of my visits of Walter outside his home,it certainly is not what I would describe as a farm labourer's cottage. A two storey house with a large green area in front which Walter explained to me was where the family had their bowling green!
