Love for old things. Η αγάπη για τα παλιά πράγματα.

As I have already told you at my post where you saw the old way of extracting olive oil, the owners of the hotel have a great love and affection for country life and nature. One corner at the grounds of the hotel, has been converted to a small "museum" of older items and things people living in the country, were using in every day life. There are a few more to show you and a couple of more events were taking place at the grounds, while olives were processed to extract olive "the old way".
Όπως σας έχω ήδη πεί, στην ανάρτησή μου για την παραγωγή του λαδιου, οι ιδιοκτήτες το ξενοδοχείου τρέφουν μια ιδιαίτερη αγάπη για τη φύση και την αγροτική ζωή, όπως ήταν τα παλιότερα χρόνια. Μια γωνιά σε μιά άκρη των κήπων του ξενοδοχείου, έχει διαμορφωθεί σε μουσείο, όπου συγκενντρώνονται τα παλιά αντικείμενα από την ζωή στην ύπαιθρο. Παράλληλα με την εξαγωγή του λαδιού με τον παλιό τρόπο, έτρεχαν και άλλες εκδηλώσεις στον χώρο αυτό.
The wood oven. Ο ξυλόφουρνος.
An old stone handmill. Ένας παλιός πέτρινος χειρόμυλος.
A stone table. Ένα πέτρινο τραπέζι.
Older household utensils. Παλαιά αντικείμενα του νυκοκυριού.

The corner of the spit. Η γωνιά της ψησταριάς.
The corner of the old distillery. Η γωνιά του παλιού αποστακτηρίου.

  5. I have an old stone handmill exactly like that , which I have kept next to my frog pond. Mine seems to be smaller though.

  6. Oh, I do like the old kitchen utensils, too! This summer when I was visiting St. Ursanne with my friend, she bought for me a very old pewter serving spoon, and it hangs over my stove now, causing me to wonder who has used it in the past to serve up the evening soup or labored long over a hot stove...ah, such history.

  8. Good morning to you Costas,
    This was an interesting post. I really like old things and the history behind.
    I wonder if they used the wooden own to bake bread in.
    Wishing you a nice day, and a creative week:)

  11. Οι μνήμες , η παράδοση
    οι ρίζες οι δικές μας,
    νομίζω πως γεμίζουνε
    στ αλήθεια τις ψυχές μας.

    Καλή εβδομάδα

  12. Fascinating. So much hard work to extract some olive oil - but so worth it.

  15. Love the old-fashioned, slow way of doing things; no power tools or machinery.

    Great shots!
