You are much braver than I would be and should be proud to have shared such helpful and encouraging information. Having the photos and news clipping must have helped quite a bit as well. I remember seeing the news clippings on your previous blog and I enjoyed seeing part of them again! You are so knowledgeable on so much - have you ever considered writing a book on the subject?

I was amazed to see how you and Colin restored Appletree Cottage from a complete shell, and in your spare time too. It must have made living in the caravan worthwhile, although I can’t imaging how claustrophobic that must have been with 2 small children. It’s a wonder you weren’t climbing the walls!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707124572356999782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-75577680808125247132019-05-17T16:10:09.336+01:002019-05-17T16:10:09.336+01:00It must have been good to have been a craft judge....It must have been good to have been a craft judge.

A lot more interesting than some of the subjects that are chosen .... I would definitely have stayed awake for that :-)<br /><br />I love the newspaper clipping of you and Col. It's nice to have things like that to look back on. We have quite a few magazine clippings and articles that featured us at our first farm ... and of course there's that episode of Escape to the Country that keeps being re-shown, recently in Scotland as we got an email from our niece to say 'Uncle Alan you're on tele again with those pigs'!Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-91524967565098243432019-05-17T10:41:18.177+01:002019-05-17T10:41:18.177+01:00Amazing to look back at all you and Colin achieved...Amazing to look back at all you and Colin achieved over the years with sheer grit, determination and a lot of hard work. |Bravo!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-83285881795190424652019-05-17T09:30:22.336+01:002019-05-17T09:30:22.336+01:00Congratulates on giving a very good talk to the WI...Congratulates on giving a very good talk to the WI. About 30 years ago when I was first joined the WI I was very shy and had been asked if I would be craft secretary (the previous lady had died and they knew I loved craft) I was so nervous of standing up to talk that I would write what I need to say and pass it on to the secretary to say it for me. After I few months I was fine and I went on be a craft judge and was lucky to be at The Royal Windsor Show an spoke to Princess Anne I saw some beautiful work. <br />Hazel c ukhazel c UK https://www.blogger.com/profile/01638654030434369177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-52354489026899100532019-05-17T09:03:37.538+01:002019-05-17T09:03:37.538+01:00Possibly prunus serotina, or black cherry apparent...Possibly prunus serotina, or black cherry apparently edible fruit.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-265632556159282102019-05-17T08:58:49.898+01:002019-05-17T08:58:49.898+01:00I am sure the ladies enjoyed your talk, particular...I am sure the ladies enjoyed your talk, particularly with your visual aids.
