Details

 There are a lot of beautiful details to spot.

I love the stone sculptures by the canal, especially the man with the lamb.

Barn

A couple of years ago we built a new barn.

Originally there was this concrete shed with an asbestos roof.

Our new wooden barn is so much better!!!

It's no longer in the middle of the backgarden and it fits right in with the surroundings.

Especially now the colour of the wood (still only on the outside) is changing from brown into grey.

We have a loam wall.........

a fireplace (built with bricks from the Antwerp Zoo :-)

and recycled handmade tiles on the roof.

You could easily be mistaken and think our (new) barn has already been here for a long time :-) 

Bricks

One of the reasons we bought this house is the brickwork.

The house itself is only 12 years old but because of these bricks it looks much older.

The reclaimed bricks and also the colour and the width of the grouting, works for us.

You can still see some pieces of straw left in the loam.......

Some layers of lime plaster.......

Some stones have traces of a fire.......

Sometimes you can even see some fingersprints left in the brick  :-)
