Rain and ancient stone work

Rain. Rain. Rain.  I wonder that anyone wants to come here at all. At least the cottages are uber insulated, unlike this house..
This building has stood through rain for nearly 1000years, well, parts of it have
Was watching a film last night, Legends of the Fall. I find myself looking at the 'characters' as though they could all somehow be ancestors. Like I look at the stone pillers, with the medieval cut marks, so unbelievably old. You can run your fingers along the grooves, and wonder how many people and who else has done the same. Who made the marks? 900 years ago? Who leant against the pillers when they were part of the monastry? Who sat at the foot of them in 1450? 1675? 1780? 1890?1914?
