So magical. We need to spend more time around the hearth, no phones allowed. 🔥

The Kitchen Hearth was the meeting place, the TV of the day, where you stook with your back to the fireplace and put on your best smile when having your photograph taken by your uncle or aunts who came on holidays from the good old USA or England, there is where the best and the most frightening stories were told by visitors on bitter cold and stormy nights in winter time, there is where your dinner was cooked , this is where you came to warm your frozen cold hands and feet as a little young child, there is where you dried your clothes and shoes after walking home from school in the belting driven rains, there is where your old grandfather and grandmother would take a nap, this is where the clock stood with the most favorite pictures on the mantelpiece above the fireplace, there is where you tried to get as seat on the hob on each side of the roaring turf fire ,there is where you made your toast and drank hots cups of tea, there is where your talked about your Neighbours good and bad, this is where plans made, this is where you had experienced some of your dreams of hitting the big time of becoming famous and a millionaire, this where you grew up, there is where you would often to return in the later years, this is where you come back to in your dreams as you lived in far of lands across the seas, as you recall were a young children.

The only thing I'm thinking is when that fire is off, that kitchen and house must be absolutely FREEZING.

most fire were never off as the small hot remains smoldered under the ashes, waiting ready to be poked and more fuel added

I'm in a room like this right now, albeit there's a wood stove in the fireplace. Music on, no TV

I immediately thought “I could live like that.“ Then I thought, “ I’d want my electric kettle,” then “Maybe I could have my microwave too,” and “I couldn’t live without hot and cold running water taps.” I guess maybe I’m not tough enough to live like my grandparents after all.

Once you got used to it then you will be okay.

It's not about being tough, it's about it being the best alternative-video was a lot better life than say 500 years earlier, or during the genocide of course. Once you have better, then you live better if you're sensible.

The Kitchen Hearth - The Centre of The Irish Farmhouse, 1967 1827pm 7.8.24 warmest place in the home and the most frequemted room. even without a fire the kitchen is what draew folk in - to have a nosey and a natter as someone made some food or prepared xmas dinner etc etc etc......or so it used to be. if you had an arga then you will probably have eaten, drunk, and watched yer telly therein. we had coal fire ktichen and front room. but the kitchen was the palce to be - whether to take in visitors to be free from the prying ears of others ora place where to one get a decent warm or where to keep one's home brew, brewing............................................................... this fella's voice reminded me of ivor cutler.

@@baxpiz1289 Comments on ‘The Kitchen Hearth - The Centre of The Irish Farmhouse, 1967’ 0337am 9.8.24 an arga? to my mind is a large kitchen appliance which was mainly fueled by wood or coal, which heated the home, heated the water supply, was used to cook food upon and allowed folk the luxury of sitting in one's cosey kitchen, to while away the hours, safe in the knowledge that the mighty arga was taking care of all your heating and culinary requirement's............. a very trendy item to have in one's home these days. especially in the era of retro chich. original argas will set you back a pretty tidy sum... they're preferable to dubious all mod cons gas appliances which backfire every 5 minutes... how did my mansplaining suffice for this?
