Humpday Triviola
Well, it's almost time to break out the "fat pants" for tomorrow but before we do let's have a little helping of Humpday Triviola...
Ok....here is a picture of a barn. I'll tell you that it's in Europe. It is believed that there is something special about the construction of this particular barn. What is it?
Re: Humpday Triviola
It has a stage for Barn dances. Or for Alpine Horn Blowers.
No, but.....
...good observation! Although I can tell you that the barn is not in an Alpine location and not related to Alpine people.

No but....
....it does have something to do with the posts and beams. (hint, hint)
Re: Probably
Something to do with where the posts and beams came from. Maybe something to do with tomorrow, or something to do with April Showers.

Answer
The picture is of the interior of a barn called "Jordan's Barn". It is part of a Quaker estate built over many years north of London.
The Mayflower ship fell into disrepair a few years after it's famous voyage. It was eventually sold for it's timber and dismantled. It is said that the timbers used for the Jordan's Barn come from the timbers of the original Mayflower Ship.
So with that I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving!
