We have no Under The Stairs in this house. Don't know why as such a space exists. it's not closed off. The fields are a problem area too. Thankfully a good deal of them are now covered with trees so we can call them the wood. Bert makes up the field names as he goes along. The far field, the back field, the long field, the meadow, Hubert's field, Jack's field, the field across the road, the middle field, the big field, the wee field, the hay field etc. That's more names than there are fields. just like the sheds.<br />Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527285652038975147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-54483381339258825072014-03-19T20:24:24.481+00:002014-03-19T20:24:24.481+00:00Loved this post.

Fields too, my favourite being 'Purgatory', named by Granda because it was right up at the end of the lane. And yes our kitchen was a scullery and the living room a kitchen. Then we had the 'sitting room' for when people visited.
