http://books.google.com/books?id=f_0YAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=cottage+economy#PPA1,M1Not sure if I have put this link up before ? , but there it is anyway . It is a really good read and if you have never read it before well worth giving it a go . I have a couple of paperback copies , one newish and one very old. The section with his views on making tea, as opposed to beer !, are really funny . This gives a really good idea of how to run a little holding before modern ways took over. I hope it is of interest .
cheers
