Wash day.....

...back in time...


The wash must be put through the linen press and then hung out on a rack to dry...


This is done out in the work shed where the little WC (water closet or toilet) is contained.....


The toilet is painted in a special blue shade to keep the flies away and the holder is full of newspaper scraps as there is no toilet paper yet...


All photos were taken at the Open Air Museum of Warffum, Groningen in April 2012.
