House keeping

Next we went to an old fashioned house where we did some of the chores that the children would have done.

She showed us how to wash the clothes. We used the wooden boards to scrub the clothes on.
Ruth and Hannah also enjoyed having a go. Then we got most of the water out with a rolling thing.

Then we did some ironing with very hot irons. This was NOT easy.

We also scrubbed a table.

We also tried to make the bed. It is so so difficult. There were so many sheets and blankets. They have lots of old things in the house like the baby's pram in the corner. They even had a chamber pot under the bed. YUCK!!! I am so glad we have toilets.
