Childhood memories

This cloud is in the shape of a chimney smoke, would say Pooh. It's the old house in the village of grandma. She is now very old, my grandma, and has started to forget things. But I remember what they've told me about the house – it was not the main house of the family, more it was older house, being used as a barn. Still it remained and the other house we pulled down to build the villa nearby.

And this one, it was not some simple barn, it was not built for one. It had a second floor with a balcony and stone tavern in the basement with two arrowslits pointing at the road and at the village center down the hill. My grandmas and grandad said in the old times these were used for rifle fire and protection of the neighborhood, even from the Turks (during the Ottoman rule). I doubt the house is that old... but then again, who knows :)

One day if I have enough money, I'll restore it. If it's still there, as half of the roof is damaged and every winter becomes a real problem.
