Kitchen fireplace (PAINTED)

Agnes loved the hustle and bustle of the kitchen before meal time. The smells of the roasting pig coated in rosemary reminded her that she hadn’t had time for lunch because trip to the market had taken longer than expected. She had finally been able to track down some cabbage for a reasonable price so the Lady of the House would have one less thing to screech about… though if dinner was late there would be no saving them from her wrath. Quickly Agnes went about helping the other kitchen staff finalize the meal. To the untrained eye surely the noises and hurrying about here and there would seem like total chaos. To Agnes this felt like home, and these people were her family. Smiling to herself she began singing a simple drinking song while she cut the cabbage. Soon everyone was singing.
