[OhMyLoft] New theme : Countryside in the old days

– Decors around the loft that are outside the scene
– Gifts between friends,  playtem gifts and those of the gazette
– Ready-made lofts / dollz *

I come back from two weeks at my grandparent’s place who live in the countryside, in a small village far from civilization. They are farmers and have a field about fifteen hectares big, a inheritance from my great-grandfather.
It wasn’t my dream holidays. The house had no electricity,  neither bathroom nor toilets, we washed ourselves in a basin and had a bedpan to pee. My grandfather told me that peasantry represented 80% of the French society at the 18th century.
I spent most of my time working. Yes, really, I’m not joking, but it was for a good cause. I had to help my grandpa in his daily tasks such as getting water from the well,  growing his vegetable garden, taking out the cattle, milking the cows. I haven’t been an easy pupil, but I’ve tried to give my best. Thanks to technological progress, the invention of numerous machines spared ourselves some hard work, but my grandpa keeps on doing most of his with his hands and still uses equipment from the old days, like a plow pulled by two horses or steers.
I can only imagine the life of farmers then. What I’m sure about  is that in the past, life was way harder than today.
