A rope in case...
When I was a teen in the 70's I discovered a series of books by Lillian Beckwith. My teen mind fantasised about living on a croft in the highlands of Scotland just like her, and I just love all of Beckwith's books.
Today I discovered I have actually become Lillian.
Well I live in Canada, not Scotland. I have a hobby farm not a croft. But as I went out to the horses today with a rope tied around my waist just in case I needed to lead one of them back into the paddocks I stopped in my tracks. I have become Lillian Beckwith. Then I looked down...
Wellies. I have become Lillian.
(Lillian Beckwith was born in England and moved to an island off Skye. Her books are charming, funny, and an easy read of simpler times.)
