To Cassandra, from Steventon, "Mary has hired a young Girl from Ashe, who has never been out to service, to be her Scrub, but James fears her not being strong enough for the place." - Jane Austen, Saturday 27- Sunday 28 October 1798

I am not sure what a scrub would do, but I am sure I would be intimidated by cleaning this house too.
We went to estate sales yesterday and I bought this picture. It just looks like an English country village to me. What do you think? Now, to find a place to hang it.
I hope you enjoy your day today!
