   Cottagecore, but not cottagecore like a twee little white girl putting a lace hanky and cute jars on a desk. Cottagecore like your ancestral grandmother with her calves of steel, getting ready to do the inevitable laundry in the huge copper cauldron right after hauling half her body weight in hay to feed the cows 😶

     @Triffen Also: "We can't get rid of the water heater. What are the cats going to sleep on when it gets cold if we do? There's no cows for them to sleep on, any more!"

     @Triffen My mom as a youth would not let her mother do her laundry, because she always ruined her clothes somehow, but in the eighties she was already married with kids in a big city. But the laundry machine definitely still lived in the cow barn, which also had the single horse stall, sauna, wet room, outhouse and hay loft! It was right next to the milking machine, and the big wood stove and water tank they used to heat the water for the laundry and sauna. 😄 Only the main building had warm water! "We don't need another water line, we'll just pump it in and heat it like we've always done."

     @sinituulia That's honestly more like my mother too. I think we only got a washing machine in the end of 80s' or something, and then for a while after that the 'drying function', meaning those beams that squeezed water out, was broken.
