Just received this for my birthday from my Mum, but unfortunately I already have a copy.
It's quite wee, and thus easily posted. Does anybody fancy a swap for another smallholding related book, or frankly anything else that's interesting really!!

I lent abooks to someone and now I can't remember who it was. It's a signed copy of a book written by a late friend - I lent it to a doggy person. It is so annoying because my sister gave me a very pretty pink suede mini notebook exactly for keeping such information, I'm always lending books out, and if I'd used it I'd know where my books are.
I think Sandy uses this book a lot, but I'm not a forager by nature
