Introducing Alfonsis the donkey
Alfonsis will be joining me in my exploration today!

I’m in the old original kitchen, there’s a large range, oven and what appears to be a smoking oven.

Any second now I’m just about to get a serious fright!

Alfonsis comes in right through the kitchen door.

He’s very friendly!

The kitchen range was made in Dublin -

Ross, Murray & Co.

Next door to the very old original kitchen, I find another, slightly more modern kitchen

Alfonsis now follows me all through the remainder of the ground floor!

He’s some lucky donkey having a nice big house like this for his home.

I’ve heard it said that ‘The pigs move into the big old houses and the farmers move into bungalows’

Never heard anything about donkeys.
