Wheeee~ It's my birthday today~
Everything was set up at the manor in the outer district of the city and I was prepared to receive the guests coming this evening.
The manor house was a two story building made of a combination of bricks and stone painted a cheery red on the outside. The windows had no glass and only had simple wood shutters to cover them up to block the wind and rain.
Despite that, this was supposedly the standard for buildings located this far out from the centre of the city so it did not diminish its worth at all.
Outside was about ten acres of land that was used as a combination of a vineyard and a tea plantation. Which I believe was where Mother would get her tea and wine from.
There was a cellar underneath the manor with its own wine press too, and the storage shed across the main building housed the drying racks for the tea leaves so everything was produced in house.
