Holy Island Castle cont ---
This is the sevants quarters of the Castle, they can only eat when all the Rich Family have been served, they will dine on whats left (and whats not gone upstairs lol).
I can easily sink into the picture. I can smell the warm brick and years of cooking that they absorbed. I would much rather have been in this room than the grand hall above with all the stress and tension and contradictions those lives have. I'm thinkin a servant during good times wouldn't need to worry 'bout leftovers, I don't think frugality was something castle owners worried about, but that showing off abundance would be their thing.

I love looking into the past at places like this. Great stuff.
Looks like it's set for 'Come Dine With Me'.
Castles are always fun. Where is this exactly?
Hope your injury is healing well. :-)
Looks like a cozy place to eat. Love that mug in the 2nd photo!
I wonder what's for dinner....
