We have quite an old house with a cellar and attic too.. today I am showing you the bar room! Pete, my DH likes to collect a lot of bar and steam train memorabilia, and does his best to keep it in one room! his room,which is the bar room.
photo trims are Bunny's cu version.
This door with the old mirror which Pete picked up at a breweriana auction is situated in our dining room and leads into a quaint Old English style bar! which also doubles as the office!
We have a real log fire, perfect for those winter days for warming hands, toes and bums lol! in the centre of the fireplace, you will notice an oval shaped thing which probably looks like a lump of wood to you.. it is in fact a vertebrae from a giant prehistoric mammoth which Pete found on a beach near Cromer in the East of England.. I have never seen someone so excited as he, when he stumbled upon it, he cleaned it up and we went to Cromer Museum to check if it was what we thought. In the foyer there was a mammoth replica, a very common beast to roam England in prehistoric times (600,000 years ago) as our country was joined onto the continent and was sub tropical! And yes they verified our find.
Here are our working hand pumps, of which the pipes lead down to the cellar and when we have a party, the pipes are fixed to large barrels of beer! which we either buy from a local brewery or maybe, if Pete has time to spare, will make a brew himself.
At the back of the bar is an old bookcase filled with books on Brewing, nature, photography and trains. On top of the bookcase are lots of silly nicknack's which are a pain to lift when the dusting has to get done!
Here are a selection of liqueurs we have made by collecting fruits from our local hedgerows, this year we made a blackberry liqueur. My favourite is sloe gin.
This is a selection of shed plates which Pete collected when he was a young lad back in the days of steam! My oh my,he's getting on in age haahaa!
Last of all, is the Bar Billiards table which gives us easy entertainment when we have friends round. not the bestgame for me to play, I always seem to lose lol!
