Although the straw bales are bigger now and much harder pressed
Not much beats old-fashioned straw-stacked barns or straw-filled barn ceilings.
Not memory streets but memory ceilings – really childhood life.

Just after harvest, when it was completely full – then it was a bit difficult. Later in the winter it got much better as it was used for the cattle. Until it was emptied a little after spring. 🙂
