Beautiful!
3 years agoA barn with some stories to tell, I imagine!
3 years agoWell heck, you taught me something. Never knew why it was called the Northshire. Too busy at the tavern, I guess.
3 years agoWell actually, it’s downtown Manchester Center. Not to be confused with Manchester Depot where the trains came in. Manchester has the stately colonial mansions down Rte 7. However, it’s all part of Greater Manchester as the chamber of commerce puts it.
3 years agoI really liked this barn too, especially with its wooden silo.
3 years agoWhat would we do without signage!
3 years agoI love your barn shots. This one is quite beautiful.
3 years agoHi,
Judging by the false gills along the stipe, they look like new chanterelles. Bill?
Cheers,

You’re right about that!
3 years agoThanks for letting me bathe in nostalgia.
3 years agoGreat hills around there, yes. The more distinctive mountain you probably saw from your motel, to the north, is Mt Aeolus, but the locals call it Mother Myrick. Little ol’ Owls Head was on her flanks. Then as you went south there was Equinox Mountain. Great place to hang out.
3 years agoFirst, agreed. Second, I think we saw the bookstore on our way through Manchester and it did look cool from the outside - but not cool enough to warrant a stop first thing. Third, yes - we stayed off of 7 south of Manchester except for a few spots north of Williamsburg - but you’ll hear of that soon enough.
3 years agoFirst of all, Fiddlehead. Good choice. Second, and I realize this may not work out timing-wise, but Northshire Books is kinda cool. Hopefully you're getting off Route 7 soon. 7A perhaps?
3 years agoWe walked past the Palmer House of course on the way to dinner. Great to hear of your history here, and glad we happened into your part of town. I’ve been looking at those hills rising straight up on both sides, thinking this must be a great skiing area.

Chocolate chickens?
3 years agoWho lives in the Chocolate Barn?
Chocolate cows* maybe?
* I've always wondered where chocolate milk comes from. Now I know. Vermont!
