Weald and Downland Museum, a set on Flickr.<— Click for more pics
I had a lovely day yesterday down in peaceful sussex at this beautiful venue amongst ancient houses. The Open Air Museum contains many old houses rescued from demolition, taken down piece by piece and rebuilt to make a little village.

It was a Herbs for Health course given by the lovely Christina Stapley

The course was given in the hall of one of the most beautiful medieval buildings I’ve ever had the pleasure to walk into.
After gathering from the nearby garden we used the stone hearth in the centre of the floor to concoct ointments and honeys while the smoke rose lazily up into the rafters.
Was a wonderful magical and unforgettable day.
