Despite my lack of posts, there was still plenty going on here at the 'ole homestead! We were reaching something of a crisis point with the porch, and came to the conclusion that we would have to have something done with the bloody thing before it fell down 😒 By the way, ignore the 2024 watermark on these photos; they were actually taken in December 2022 (!) and have been languishing on my computer since then 😏
It was rotting at an alarming rate and to try to give us a bit more time, Shug fitted some plastic sills to temporarily stem the tide.
The porch entrance was from the side, I expect to shelter the doorway from the weather somewhat.
As you can see, the side windows were simply panes of thin greenhouse-type glass.
At some point in its life, the porch had a second doorway ~ we have no idea when it ceased to be used 😕
It's a very large "porch" and looked just like what we suspected it actually was: a glorified greenhouse plonked onto the front of the house. I'm sure that St Abbs was much more attractive before it was added.
Tomorrow I shall treat you to all the photos I took of the inside, so prepare yourselves for even more yuckiness 😉
