I am living in the sort of house with beams and inglenooks and attic bedrooms PURELY because I was brainwashed by those books in childhood . . . I lived their life, in a way! No bees or Jersey cattle though! Looking at your profile, it would seem you and I have a lot in common : )<br /><br />MM - I was looking around the churchyard in Llanybydder on Thursday, and no end of KLewis's in there - I thought of you!<br /><br />RR - you will adore Alison Uttley's writing, I promise.

Its nicer to say. But I do say the salty sailor version lots, I am not a proper lady.<br />I need to watch the White Queen. I have seen its trailers on tv but have not watched. I will try to record it and watch later.<br />I look forward to your tales of "others".denimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-88337747098143795682013-07-27T08:59:38.673-07:002013-07-27T08:59:38.673-07:00How interesting for you with BBC's White Queen...How interesting for you with BBC's White Queen being aired right now. I too looked up my welsh cottage's history but only found out it was part of a large estate which came as a dowry in the 1700's. Interesting to find scraps of history though.<br />I love A Traveller in Time and still have the book. Same with 'Spirit Of Punchbowl Farm' where Lindsey goes back in time and meets a boy who used to live on her farm. Being a Horsey Gal I'm sure you know which book I'm talking about :)shariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899435247762808267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-8434141005612460912013-07-27T05:43:28.239-07:002013-07-27T05:43:28.239-07:00Trying to type around Edward--our version of "...Trying to type around Edward--our version of "little Whale'---fascinating background on your home. The research is indeed a challenging and engrossing way to spend hours--with mind faraway in another time.<br />Our 1980's house here is a carbon copy of a million others built in that decade, but we've been told that an older farmhouse was demolished to make way for it. A man who lived here told me that the house had gone very shabby and was the coldest building in which he ever spent a winter, but I'm guessing it was a more interesting structure than the present one.<br />If only those with the surname 'Lewis' had added something distinctive to the name--a middle initial, or an outlandish moniker by which to sort them from the hoard of Lewis families!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-24789766949572216082013-07-27T04:54:53.907-07:002013-07-27T04:54:53.907-07:00What a brilliant post and so interesting.

It must be wonderful to live in such a historic house. I've recently been in contact with a long lost cousin who lives on the Welsh Borders and she has been researching some of our Welsh ancestors - I will send a link to your blog to her if you don't mind as she will find your post really interesting.<br /><br />I must check out that book by Alison Uttley too :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-32634501219402514292013-07-27T03:37:23.445-07:002013-07-27T03:37:23.445-07:00Waver - the shove is coming from the cost of livin...Waver - the shove is coming from the cost of living here and heating 19 rooms!<br /><br />Em - I'm glad about that : )Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-85496836232731093932013-07-27T01:58:43.203-07:002013-07-27T01:58:43.203-07:00Always happy to listen.

Think poo! Love the herbalist connection. Is it something you are very drawn to?<br /><br />As for "others" . . . well, my middle daughter brought "others" out of the woodwork, and how!
