how old were you?
They bought the farm when I was 2 (1955) so it was after that so I would have been 3-4 years old.  I don't have many memories of my really early childhood.  Maybe I had a bump on my head!  There was story as baby I was nearly run over by the tractor as they were ploughing the paddocks.  They had put me down in amongst the rushes and ended up forgetting where I had been placed.

I feel I have used up most of my nine lives.  So yes I have been lucky so far.

If the discussion on what Matt saw has petered out would it be possible for members to take other topics to a related thread.  Please stay on topic.   Thank you

The bifold doors push outward from the handles so even if they were partially open none of it would bulge the curtains of the main bedroom.  So this bifold door could have been partially open without showing signs visible to Matt.

Bifold doors is an expression I have never heard before.  Maybe that is the NZ way of saying French doors?

We call double doors that have a hinge on either side and opening in the middle "French doors" Rob.

there were at least two doors by the looks of it.   The bi-fold part in the diagram only applies to the two windows hinged together.

Bi-fold is a fairly common expression for a type of door in the Uk.

Maybe I should have amended my words there, cos i do know what a traditional bi-fold door is, but thanks Slarti.  More commonly used on wardrobes or shower cubicles.

I can only see one place where the doors open or possibly fold ... and as far as I can see it seems to be in the middle of the door space.  I think that there are just two doors ... and in all probability they are french doors.

I have tried to find a photo from the outside which shows them, but to no avail.

The question remains were these doors locked?  Were the shutters down?
