I stumbled accross it in a charity shop too and I must admit it was what got me a bit infatuated with crofting, and probably led me to this book. Didn't realise there were others - will check them out. <br /><br />I have neglected my blog lately and also lost touch with my 'favorites' - am looking forward to catching up with your posts. Hope you feel better soon.<br /><br />BonnieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814844278942160057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318018466733912574.post-35284871061762379192013-01-21T13:26:06.976+00:002013-01-21T13:26:06.976+00:00Oh, they look like lovely books.

I too remember winters of oxtail, mince, rice pudding, stovies, finnan haddie, homemade toffee for a treat on a cold winter's night. My spinning wheel sits by the fire and I run my sheep with a border collie on this sounthern Ontario farm, as my dad did many years ago. Love, love, love your blog.
