RP post: In Gotland with Kate Barlow
Jun. 15th, 2012 05:52 pmThe door opens as if out of a hillside; and below the hill, a farm nestles.
In it centre, there's a large long-house built from field-stones and large beams, thatched in reed and low-eaved; around it, there are outbuildings: baking oven, smithy, chicken coop, storage and the like. Cows, sheep and goats are grazing on the hills around; there are chickens and geese in the yard, and horses in a meadow.
Children are playing hide-and-seek among the buildings, and two tall burly men, one older and one younger, are hard at work at the smithy, mending sickles and scythes.
It is the early evening.
